Seen here are all the Airbus A340 subvariants (-200, -300, -500 and -600) landing or taking off with an immense power.
Have you seen an aircraft climbing very slow on takeoff and made a hairdryer sound? Good chance that it could have been an Airbus A340, also known as the “hairdryer” nicknamed after its engine cone shapes like a hairdryer. The Airbus A340 is a much beloved aircraft in aviation. This footage was taken at different airports around the world. Down below you at the time stamps you can see if the airlines still operates the A340 or if it has phased them out. ⇊For more info & plane shortcuts⇊
The Airbus A340 made its first flight in 1991. The shortest of the A340 variants is the A340-200 measures 59.4 m (195 ft), and can cover 12,400 km / 6,700 nmi with 210-250 seats in 3-class. The most common of the A340s, the A340-300 can reach 63.7 m (209 ft) to accommodate 250-290 passengers and has a 13,500 km / 7,300 nmi range. The A340-500 is 67.9 m (223 ft) long to seat 270–310 over 16,670 km / 9,000 nmi, the longest-range airliner at the time. The longest A340-600 is stretched to 75.4 m (247 ft), then the longest airliner until the Boeing 747-8 was made. The Airbus A340-600 can accommodate up to 320-370 passengers over 14,450 km / 7,800 nmi. The A340 was designed next to the more successful Airbus A330. "Only" 377 A340 were delivered. Unfortunately for aviation enthusiasts airlines are phasing out the Airbus A340 as is it not as fuel efficient as twin engined aircraft, and costs more in maintenance.

Hot and heavy takeoffs can make one very religious, but once airborne such a wonderful experience
