Thai A340-600 Take Off in Zurich Kloten

[wogga8]

Which airlines are currently using the 747 - 800?

[johneddy98033]

THAI - an airline that is as unique as Thailand itself.

[Thekingswa747]

The pilot sure did keep the gear down long

[youtubao2]

Yeah ! Leaving cold Switzerland for hot Thailand ! Vive Bangkok, vive la Thaïlande !

[rggfgjerjh]

seeing this plane in real life makes you realize just how long the a340-600 truly is. i never thought it was that long until i saw 3 virgin atlantic a340-600's at heathrow

[urashimakeitaro22]

If I would start an airline, Id buy over dozens of beautiful a340-600 than overrrated 777 bitch.. i know a340 is a bit close to 777 in terms of economics but yeah, its a bit tad close.. but a340 is a goddamn fucking good looking aircraft ever.

[KLX7000M]

nice engine sound

[ediandpen]

my video response is "and now from the inside"

[theairlineslover92]

i think it has already been launched for a long time ago. ( early 2009 or mid 2009, i forgot)

[theairlineslover92]

what an exotic livery!!

[theairlineslover92]

yup! i think so.

compare it with garuda indonesia new livery. it also has a very beautiful livery!

[Sooksawaspakdee961]

So just becuse Airbus is building longer and bigger planes than Boeing it´s makes Airbus better????. Just wait and see when the first A-380 crash what will happend to Airbus. I would love to see a 747-800 in Thai color rather than the shit ugly A-380.

[malbargouvieux]

fro the moment, Airbus make the buzz, and where is Boeing, with the 787 or 747-8? Not in the place !!!

So stop thinking that Boeing is the best, because the 787 still late to be delivered to clients and 747-800 doesn't make it first roll-out!

[subbuteo91]

Airbus make the longest and the biggest jet so... Boeing is not the best

[LGLG69]

The 747 Intercontinental will surpass the A340 when it comes out in 2010. It will be 251 feet in length.

[malbargouvieux]

It will be a bit too late ! A 380 has already won the battle of aircrafts of more than 500 seats !

[psgman41]

@malbargouvieux

Wrong. There were some Boeing 747's with more than 500 seats long time before the A380. (ex: Corsair, JAL, etc.).

[malbargouvieux]

I flew on Corsair as flight attendant and with my collegues we make he service for 588 passengers, but the comfort on laughaul routes is strictly awful.....

i have visited the A 380 of Air France, and i can tell you that it wll be the best trip you will have in your life.... Only the Dreamliner could support the concurence !

[GMuzicc]

I prefer Boeing over Airbus (I like every airliner from boeing (excld 717) but I prefer the A340 to the 747!

[theairlineslover92]

so do i.

i prefer 777 (boeing) and A340 (airbus)!

[m4ace]

The title of "Longest Passenger plane in the world" will eventually be won by the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental. Its only a matter of time!

[rhettski999]

If boeing doesnt run out of money....

[roxetterc747]

Yeah it will be. But not if Airbus A380-900 cames out before ;) The Airbus A380-900 will be the longest airplane in the world :)

[LGLG69]

I read that the A380-900 will probably never be built. Airliners have reached their limit in size for a long time to come.

[planelover2000]

Damn, 50 second long takeoff roll. I flew in a A319 the other day, we were off by 17 seconds.

[QuantumStates]

Longest passenger plane in the world.

[Nat2370]

@QuantumStates The Boeing 747-8 is longer. The A340-600 is 75.30m while the B747-8 is 76.25m

[xgenx]

@Nat2370 notice his comment was a year ago...also remember how much newer the 747-8 is compared to the A340

[Nat2370]

@xgenx hmmm, yah the Boeing 747-8 had its first flight in February this year lol.

[youtubao2]

@QuantumStates No the longest is the A380

[freetosk8brd1]

@youtubao2 no the longest is the boeing 747-8, get ur facts right ;p

[oleyokey06]

@youtubao2 no shit

[freetosk8brd1]

@QuantumStates not anymore ;)

[SonofPosh]

@QuantumStates Not any more big up the 747-8

[dragoshellu1]

@QuantumStates not anymore:) 747-800 has that title now:)

[aexmndz]

@QuantumStates It's now the 747-800 I'm afraid :P Still, +1 for the A340-600!!! :D

[tinek6]

@QuantumStates Not any more ;)

[Thebmwisthebest]

damm those trees while takeoff

[KMoore175]

does the nose gear look low to any one else???

[KMoore175]

a340 600 is the longest, idk which is better, but i like airbus

[msMimosa1]

cool! so - marvelous : )

[Andy41]

A340-600 is the longest.

Which is better? Hard to say. Nowadays Airlines pay much more attention to B777 because of fuel efficiency and other factors.

[amzad89]

damn cool video beautiful thai plane

[Tottiboy190]

I love this beast!!!

[amzad89]

wait hold on how do planes liek these take off ? plz reply..

[Tottiboy190]

4 Powerfull Rolls Royce Trent 556 Engines!! =D

[amzad89]

lmaoo not really rolls royce i think they get enough air in the engines so they take off quicker . rite?

[Tottiboy190]

No, they really are Rolls Royce Trent 556 engines that make the airplane fly...

[amzad89]

ohhh wow lol my fault man .. i thought u was jokin cuz u said rolls royce and those r cars, didnt kno they were engines..

[Tottiboy190]

Lol no I wasn't...

[amzad89]

oh okay it souded funny tho

[bassplaya1549]

Well the engines do most of the work but also flaps help create enough lift to help giant aircraft like these get airbourne

[amzad89]

ohh ok thanks for the answer.

[stockhus]

[Ralph12343739]

The Airbus 340 600 sits just about 400 people not 260 as mentioned before. In a one class layout it could seat potentially 450 people.

[23vin850]

The 600 is very long, How many passengers can it seat?.

[Aut99]

about 260 passengers!

8 in first

60 in business

199 in Economy ^^

[Dudeboy4000]
