Iberia Airbus A340 Beautiful Take-off at Boston Logan International Airport

[donostian]

Beautiful video. I love the Airbus 340, they are so long and sleek and elegant, but at the same time they give the impression of being so fragile compared to the Boeing airliners.

Beautiful indeed, the A340 looks amazing here.

Whats the point of the landing gear in the center?

@KOOL2011 To help to distribute the weight, maybe? I don't know. My friend TBird209 may know this answer.

@KOOL2011 Think of it this way, for such a massive airliner (This thing is longer than the A380 pretty much), without the middle gear, there would only be the landing gear coming out of the wing undersides. That would have way too much strain on the wings, and it would be silly not to have the distribution of the weight in the middle. Its just gravity really :) Notice on the smaller airbus's that this is not necessary. Hope this helps! :)

@jlebesis yeah thanks for the info.

Why change the livery? Is what makes them, their identification is nice and different to anyone else and I am very sure when the time is right they will have a.....big surprise.
