Have you seen an aircraft climbing slow on takeoff and made a lot of sound? Good chance that it could have been an Airbus A340, also known as the “hairdryer” nicknamed after its engine cone shapes like a hairdryer. Seen here are all the Airbus A340 subvariants (-200, -300, -500 and -600) landing or taking off with an immense power.
The Airbus A340 made its first flight in 1991. It was designed next to the more successful Airbus A330. "Only" 377 A340 were delivered. Unfortunately for aviation enthusiasts airlines are now rapidly phasing out the Airbus A340 as is it not as fuel efficient as twin engined aircraft, and costs more in maintenance. ENJOY!!
