Cathay Pacific A340-300 Takeoff in Hong Kong ~ Wonderful Sound

[MrPinoyProud]

yes nice sound !!

[timothyngim]

3:38 the ferry to Macau

[dublinairportplanes]

heard that power is not that good on the a340

[frylucas]

The AirbusA340s Symphony!

[Hydromatic987]

my favorite plane :)

[frylucas]

All in A330/A340 is AMAZINGLY Good,Since from Design to The Wonderful Sounds!

[keelungcw]

perhaps a stupid question... but why does an airbus always sound quieter than a Boeing?

like this A340 vs the 747 jumbo... the jumbo sounds like it screaming... but the airbus like its purring

[thief100692]

i like the engine soud

[prostar2729]

the power of flight! =)

[TurbofanDude]

A340-300 CFM engines, music - A340-600 RR engines, a symphony!

[Yatharth13]

I like the pattern as well, first cathay pacific, then another, then another, then a dragon air, then another cathay pacific :D

[Yatharth13]

I love you man, this video is by far the best I've seen of Cathay Pacific Deparature

[filmdirectorlord]

how long was the flight from Hong Kong International Airport to Jakarta

[Cathaydude]

this showed me how cool it is to be a pilot! i want to be a pilot

[Sarratt]

thanks

[kingkoolkata]

thank god we got the curvature of the earth, otherwise It would never climb :D

[JUFFAIR101]

isnt the engines small for a an a340?

[scvs2]

Damn, i'm coming back from HKG - YVR the cathay pacific a340 300. Do you hear this GRRRRRRR sound the whole flight don't know if i can stand it lol

[sealalula]

@scvs2 It only happen on takeoff . I flew YVR-HKG on CX A340-300 (B-HXE) too :D

[scvs2]

@sealalula I'm on seat 58 right window is that a good seat?

[sealalula]

@scvs2 I was on seat 59K :P I'll sent you my video via PM now

[cucappm]

good view !

:D

[plutocuteguy]

you know what i hate sitting in the back wen you cant hear shit when you take off

[sealalula]

@plutocuteguy Lol , Try taking near the wings then :P

[rachaelmatt]

In going on an a340 in 2 days!! Easter sunday cant wait!

[shoutwebdaniel]

Fantastic!

[3624nathan]

Sik video

[arlanda767boy]

The power of flight :-)

[sealalula]

I could'nt really hear the engines spooling up when im seated at row 59K during my Vancouver-Hong Kong trip.

[raykrislianggi]

Well, yeah... I told you that seating at the back of a plane is a nightmare.

[sealalula]

Yup :)

[alex9734]

yea i didn't really enjoy my flight on the a340 .. i flew from shanghai to Finland.. and your right , your cant actually here the spool on that aircraft .. its just a bang and then full thrust

[albeezy001]

This plane is an A340 with an A330 following it.

[prostar2236]

Great sounds!

[JKool951]

Nice Deep Rumbling Sounds, followed by a Great Roar, Then The Buzz Saw Noise, Praise Be to The CFM56 5C9s!

[wogga8]

Now that had to be a full power take off. Either that or it was empty?

[Gregdude08]

In the backround there is a 777 of cathay pacific

[natbrain]

That's an a330 you idiot! 777s don't have winglets! They have raked wingtips!

[sealalula]

Only 777-200LR and 777-300ER have ranked wingtips.

[natbrain]

I know, but it was just speaking along the lines of wingtip modifications. I meant, the 777s are equipped with raked wingtips, just as the a330 is equipped with winglets. But of course, 777-200LR and 777-300ER are the only ones with raked wingtips, but none of them are equipped with winglets.

[prostar2236]

You seem to be pretty confident but you have got it all wrong :D

[soak01]

So on the A340 in the economy am I better sitting in the front or rear section. There are 3 of us flying YVR to HKG later this year on the CX A340 and we can't decide what's better. Also is there much side ways movement at the back?

[sealalula]

I've already flown on CX 839 YVR-HKG. How was your flight ?

[tangokl]

What is that buzz saw sound that loads of planes have

[francis2383]

its the engine roaring thats how it roars in large aircrafts like A340

[guitarshredder18]

Fantastic buzz saw sound on takeoff, can't hear it sitting behind the wing unfortunately.

[greekozzi]

wouldn't those noisy engines give you a head ache?

[greekozzi]

but they still sound quite nice

[danman132x]

Great video, and very good sound quality.

[karaoglu50]

bune olum baska çekecek yer bulamadınızmı

[Wessieeeeee]

Nice Sound, When It takes off ;)

[surfy8]

I was on that flight

[JanG257]

what seat were you in?

[cx829]

i think it was 33A

[JanG257]

thanks

[sealalula]

are you sure its 33A ? cause im taking from Singapore to Vancouver in this plane during the June Holidays :D i cant wait for it !!! and i want to seat here too

[cx829]

yes im sure...33 or 32 makes a good view

but make sure that the A340 you're taking is in a 2-class configuration. If you get a 3-class config, 33A will be in the middle of the wing

[Ahuntsicspotter]

What was the flying time between Hong-Kong and Jakarta?

[SouthAfricanAirways1]

@cx829 Was the entertainment On-Demand or chennel? and could you lean against the wall?

[impulze3]

@cx829 thank you

[kanofy]

@cx829 Wow. In A340 seat number 33 is still in front of the wing?? What a long front indeed. If compared to B777-300, seat number 18 or 19 is already at the front tip of the wing. Such a big different.

[megamillionfreak]

@cx829 Hey, I just flew in to JFK from CDG a few days ago on an AF 340-300, and my seat was 30K (window) right at the end of wing. Check out my video. Could yours have been 23A maybe?

[CalebFilmsPresent]

@sealalula For Cathay Pacific...this is 30A

[evanericsenliman]

Why the airplane voice is "NGEEEEEENNNNGGG"?

[yournameiswrong]

747-434

[yournameiswrong]

my goodness! dont rate this a minus 1! what am I a haterd person? what happaned here was no insults! HAH!

[dakarrally888]

lol

[praetorian2150]

the back is so much better. even if 1st class is better, economy is the shit if ur a plane freak like me

[A320FrequentFlyer]

Anybody know where to get sounds this real for MSFS???????????

[dakarrally888]

lol

[xXBloodyBlowXx]

wat seat were u in, great view of the engines =D

[funnymeha]

My... the engine sounds different than it hearing from the back of the plane!

[ecrdab747]

agree

[yournameiswrong]

yea the front makes a buzzing noise and the back makes a wooshing noise

[sealalula]

oh tkx very much now i know where to seat when i take this plane in a few weeks time!!!

[yournameiswrong]

it was a joke! there is no such this as a 747-434 ..uhh.. is there?

[garlex134]

no, its 747 to 4 something something, not 400

[PhoenixSuci]

@funnymeha does it sounds better from the back of the plane? i find that the buzzing sound is disturbing me : (

[EmadIV]

@funnymeha

From the back most of what you hear is what is known as the combustion (feels more like a rumbling, low-pitched noise). From the front you hear the sounds the engine actually makes (known as the engine whine).

[Plhamel]

Ths is one of the best take off videos I have seen yet. Great sound, steady, clear,and I love the airport geography as you take off. Just out of curiosity, why does CP use a 4 engine plane to go from HK to Jakarta?

[CrazyAboutA380s]

High capacity route maybe. When I went from Seoul to Hong Kong, Asiana put me on a 747.

[xetera999]

that airport is soo nice inside, great video. :)

[plutocuteguy]

its incredible that hong kong airport is a island so freakin huge

[flyerholland]

a340 is lovely.. though many people say its underpowered..

[eltfell]

Some say, that it the only aircraft with five APUs.

[flyerholland]

well i think that is true though.. yes indeed alot of people say that.

[dazz81]

the BAe 146 was a bit like that

[5233andy]

Music to my ears... (Engine noise)

[RollerCoasterTycoon8]

is it true that a first class ticket costs like $154,000?

[ecrdab747]

lol ! you are dreaming, my dear !

[onlinemember2008]

If you are in hong kong and would like to listen to the new hong kong airport plane live trasmissions contact me, i can send them to you for ur enjoyment. departure. arrival, clearance etc... Note these are Mhz frequencies you will need a radio scanner to listen to.

[globulus1]

[ecrdab747]

[globulus1]

Thank you! ecrdab747

[ecrdab747]

[ecrdab747]

THe plane behind is an A330-300

[driftkingz109]

[driftkingz109]
