the a340 is so underpowered its terrifying

[starbreez3]

@vivacoldplay what do you meaaan :(?

[vivacoldplay]

@starbreez3 those things are heavy and it seems like the engines are as use full has hair dryers

[ollo1982]

@vivacoldplay No its not.If it was underpowered as you say,it wouldnt have been certified for commersial traffic.. simple as that.Yes its a poor climber compare to 747 and 777,but every plane on long haul flights is so heavy it cant do it better.. The A340-300 takes off from Princess Juliana on direct flight to France with fuel for the whole flight and fully loaded with cargo/passengers.Thats a 7700ft long runway. A flight that takes 9-11 hours depending on wind/weather. Not underpowered at all.

[vivacoldplay]

@ollo1982 no not underpowered at all. Just took 10 seconds to rotate

[ollo1982]

@vivacoldplay On route from Narita to Kastrup that A340-300 flyes almost 5000 nautical miles. On takeoff it burns a good amount of fuel due to extreme rpm from the engines. my guess is that it carryes at least 70 tons of fuel on take off,have over 200 passengers= 15 tons,and a good amount of cargo. making the plane weigh good over 200 tons. OFCOURSE IT IS A LONG TAKEOFF ROLE!!! A340-300 would NOT have been certified if it was underpowered.

[ollo1982]

@vivacoldplay Required runway at MTOW(396 tons) 10,466 ft (3,190 m) 10,893 ft (3,320 m) 9,902 ft (3,018 m)

ER: 10,138 ft (3,090 m) 10,138 ft (3,090 m) For 747. Engines Produces PW 63,300 lbf (282 kN)

GE 62,100 lbf (276 kN)RR 59,500/60,600 lbf (265/270 kN)

Take off run at MTOW (276 tons) 2,990 metres (9,810 ft)3,000 metres (9,800 ft) For A340-2/300. Engines produces 31,000–34,000 lbf.. Its not underpowered.

[vivacoldplay]

@ollo1982 sorry but a 747-400 is MUCH bigger than an a340 so idk why you are comparing them

[ollo1982]

@vivacoldplay Yes exactly... and you can see the lbf?? Much bigger you said?? and only 29000lbf more than a340-300 on the 747...thats pr engine... A340-5/600 pr engine = 248–260 kilonewtons (56,000–58,000 lbf) 260–275 kilonewtons (58,000–62,000 lbf) MTOW is 372,000 kilograms (820,000 lb)

HGW: 380,000 kilograms (840,000 lb) 368,000 kilograms (810,000 lb)

HGW: 380,000 kilograms (840,000 lb) T/O Roll at MTOW 3,050 metres (10,010 ft) 3,100 metres (10,200 ft)

[vivacoldplay]

@ollo1982 The MD-11 is approximately the same size as the A340-300, but it has up to 150% the power of the A340 (MD-11 has 186000lbs of thrust) and a higher cruise speed, yet it still has about the same range as the A340-300? Does it carry more fuel or is it efficient as the A340-300 during flight?

[ollo1982]

@vivacoldplay Yes... it has 186000 and the A340-300 have 136000... But look at the takeoff roll at MTOW?? A340-300 have a shorter run than MD11... If it was underpowered as you say,they would have changed the engines to more powerful after some buildt A340-300... because it would have been certified for commersial traffic if it was underpowered...

[jegerproletar]

@vivacoldplay The Airbus 340-600 is longer than a B747.. It is the longest passenger aircraft in the world.. But i think the new boeing 747-8 is about to set the length record :)

[willettgarrett]

I like the sound of the engines!

[omar66295]

SAS scandinavian airlines er den største og den beste i scandinavian men de har veldig dyre billeter innen Europa men noen lang turer er de veldig billige det er veldig bra!!

[XStandupforfreedomX]

Passagiere der skandinavischen Fluglinie SAS werden künftig keine andere Wahl haben, als an Bord halal oder gar nichts zu essen. Der Geschäftsführer der Schweizer Firma Gate Gourmet, die für die SAS-Menüs verantwortlich ist, hat nämlich ausgerechnet, es wäre billiger, allen Fluggästen halal zu servieren, als verschiedene Menüs anzubieten. Das bedeutet nun also Tierquälermenues für alle.

[kbalasse]

SAS is best!

[skylineXpert]

@kbalasse i even pushed the button with a glass of water and they came very fast to ask if i did push the button, and they asked me if i wanted water, i am stunned of how good service sas can produce even with their red numbers on the buttomline, combine them with thai or singapore and they might be the best airline in the world

[107brian]

KLM!

[xirux01]

SAS is a very weird company. The things other Company can get profit, SAS cant profit on. their has to be something wrong whit the company management at SAS..

one example, They couldn´t get a profit on the B747?? BritishAirways and other companies can..

[beirch]

@xirux01 That's because we haven't got enough passengers for it to be profitable, you fucking idiot.

[hzhenrik]

SAS a340's are used on long distance routs to Asia and southern America while the A330 are used on shorter long haul flights such as Stockholm-New York.

[blueblob4]

I had no idea Airbus made a 4-engine airliner other than the A380 and I'm a plane buff. Damn this is shocking.

I don't really care for Airbuses but this one's pretty cool the fuselage is so long

[OriolusOriole]

@blueblob4 Check out a340-600, the longest airliner in the world. If you like long fuselages...... I mean, it is "too" long :)

[blueblob4]

@OriolusOriole Yeah I saw that… it was the longest plane in the world until Boeing released the 747-8. But that doesn't look as long due to the fact that its fatter and stuff. With two levels and everything…

[OriolusOriole]

@blueblob4 Yeah..... But the passenger version of the 747-8 hasn't flown yet, only test flights of the cargo version

[xirux01]

@OriolusOriole Yes i agree, It looks like a freak! But if a company only extend a older model and put just a few newer feauters. and label it a new product, what did you expect..

[TheGorbaa]

SAS is one of the best airlines in the world!!!

[NaughtyLover92]

Very nice!

[Sooksawaspakdee961]

When???? when J-Carlzon run the show SAS was a great airline. Now it´s a complete disaster. And now with the vulcano dust i really hope SAS will go to shit.

I really hope that the vulcano cloud stays over sweden for atleast two months,making SAS lose millions everyday. Screw this crappy airline.

[DannebrogWiking]

one of the best airline companies, sadly they have a big crise

[AO1145]

SAS is the best! I flew with them a month ago from Beijing with the Aribsu 340, and its in my top 3 airliners! Also in top three 737-600 and CRJ-900!

[FlamingoBoy95]

I love SAS!!!

[MirekBaal83]

Often flown with. SK 983 Kopenhagen - Tokio

[Etonfour]

Best Airline in Scandinavia

[PhilipDK5800]

Finnair is :)

[DetEJagDe]

Also biggest

[unggrabb]

If you are a SAS hater - Why bothner looing for SAS videos?

SAS is fab, went to Zurich over the xmas break, SAS are fantastic.

[ollo1982]

@unggrabb SAS is a good company,but its far from good to fantastic.. they have a bad service.. taking paid for the food and drinks aboard.. bad flight attendants thats not very service minded.. But they have great pilots,that makes the takeoffs,cruise and landings pretty smooth...

[MRFREAK177]

@ollo1982

What airline have you been flying with? I have been flying with SAS tons of times and i never EVER have had bad service, they are all allways smiling and helpful and let me have a great time. While onboard.

[ollo1982]

@MRFREAK177 On the last flight i was with SAS was from Frankfurt to Gardermoen. Service was not the best.. Service on Lufthansa was a HUGE class higher... Who charge almost 5 Euros for a sandwich?? yea,SAS do... and 3 freakin euros for a can of coca cola... thats ripoff! and 2 euros for a coffey... Most likely otherwise on long haul flights tho.. idk...

[mikrokupu]

Unfortunately SAS is not that great airline it used to be, not my favourite anymore :( There are reasons why SAS gets 3 stars while Finnair gets 4, ranked by the global Skytrax.

[jorkpett1991]

i like Norwegian, its the best airline in Scandinavia^^:)

[boardning]

@jorkpett1991 no it's not =)

[Sooksawaspakdee961]

Thank you SAS for loosing my luggage, cancelled my flight without notified me. Changed my buisness class seat to economy due to over booking (BULLSHIT), for giving me a rude and incompetent service. For the piss poor service for 16 damn hours of flight. The crap of Scandinavia.

I will never ever again fly with this poor excuse for an airline. I guess it will not take long before SAS has 2 stars or even worse.

[PhilipDK5800]

SAS is in general among the worst airlines in the world. I'd rather fly Aeroflot, at least they got a brand new A330 fleet.

Next time, fly with Finnair!

[DannebrogWiking]

@Sooksawaspakdee961 SAS is ratet to be one of the best airline companies both in service and flight on time! ;)

[Jazz8584]

I like the colour scheme on SAS aircraft

[GucciNice]

Nice takeoff.

[ThaiairwaysTG955]

SAS is not better more than Thai airways Thai 4 star but SAS 3 star !!!

[LudvikM94]

I agree, but Sas is the best airline here in Scandinavia

[m1r3o]

I'm sure Thai is better than SAS but also better than many other airlines!!

[jnbedros]

@roxetterc747 learn to be polite idiot

[roxetterc747]

What a fuck do you want? Did i said something to you? Learn to not go into things that dont belong to you. Grew up ffs!

[LudvikM94]

The beauty of Scandinavia :D

[LudvikM94]

I like the sounds of the engines. 5/5 stars.

[rukor]

been on that specific aircraft ;)

[Fry20009]

Umm... alot of airbus and boeing planes use basically the same engines...

[nuwanthevampire]

wthr its airbus or boeing the engine sound comes from RR or CFM power plants..the airframer has nthng to do with its sound,,

[bufo111]

Boeing and airbus uses the same engien manufacture so the only sound different will be the engien type not how big or small the airplane is

[ugnut123]

cause boeing sucks!!!

[privatealeks]

Why?

[bwells86]

awesome sound!
