Roarrrrrrrrrrr!!! Airbus A-340 Closeup Takeoff

Turn the sound up on this one.
This is an Iberia airlines A-340-600 departing from Quito.
The power of this aircraft is incredible.
Quito sits at almost 10,000 ft.!
The runways are almost 14,000 ft long!!
I have a lot of other aviation vids as well as vids of me drumming. Hit my profile.

hmmm, the A340 takes time to take the gears up, why airbus company didn't notice :S it is more late then a B747

[patton303]

Because at Quito... you don't achieve positive rate as quickly as you do at lower elevations so the gear has to be extended longer. Quito is at 10,000ft!! You can't retract the gear until you have absolute positive rate.

I can't believe you twat wads are actually debating whether this plane is a 747 or A340. The video is clearly miss titled. It is a 747, which is the most beautiful aircraft designed Awuma. I feel so strongly about that I would let the plane board me...747 times.

[patton303]

Sorry... But it's titled correctly.

It's an Iberia(Spain) Airbus A-340-600.

Iberia doesn't even fly 747's anyway so there's no argument there.

A 747 has the obvious 2nd deck hump, a way less cambered wing structure, and truncated empennage . Plus the 747 takes much longer time to rotate than the '340 did here.

The A340-600HGW is powered by four 60,000 lbf (267 kN) thrust Rolls-Royce Trent 560 turbofans which you see here. You can also see the "RR" logo on the nacelles.

4 engined aircraft are the real sex machine, it like having 4 balls.

Woah...

You got jet blasted, i saw grass flying at the end!

@markdafedman: biased nonsense. No underpower involved on A340-500/600. I had a comfortable flight at 25a on a Lufthansa flight. And it is not a French POS (whatever this means) but a great engineered European plane (wings are from the UK, tail and parts of the fuselage from Germany, engines from the UK, cockpit displays from Italy, slats from NL etc. Next time, please post some arguments.

[TriplesevenER]

which airport is this? SEQU?

[hitler834]

where did you shoot this video ?? holy crap you must be standing right next to the freakin runway

[princessseeker]

well, Viceroy, thanks for illustrating your ignorance. Its the weight/ power ratio that matters. How many times have you ridden in the French POS? I have ridden out of Frankfurt on a cool day (at 630 ASL, therefore no density altitude issues) on several A340's and seen climb performance that barely matches a Cessna. How many times have you ridden in the cockpit of a 777? and witnessed the climb rate? How about the A 340?

[viceroytennis]

@markdafedman . I don't think with225,000 Ibs of thrust available, makes it underpowered. The 700 -300ER Boeing has max 230,000 when its not eating up its gearboxes - and no one says that's underpowered.

[markdafedman]

Cool video, unfortunately the A 340 is an underpowered POS with poorly engineered cabins, and an air conditioning system that makes the areas over the wings uncomfortably warm for the passengers. Another French POS !
