Damn, I'm 41 years old now and - believe it or not - in my whole life I flew only four times: from Schiphol (Amsterdam, Netherlands) to Sao Paulo (Brasil) and back (B777-300ER), and from Dortmund (Germany) to Turda (Romania) and back (A320).

It's rumoured that a Saudi princess asked Santa for a Dyson hairdryer for Christmas, and her husband got her an A340 instead. Imagine wrapping one of those, let alone trying to disguise what it was so as not to spoil the surprise on Christmas morning!
I'm an Airbus fan and slightly offended but thats hard to argue against and true... 😅😂 There's no getting around the fact that A340 is grossly underpowered...
@@ghostrider-be9ek so you are really talking about deck angle, not AoA. That’s not the same. Also, if you want to stay with AoA, for an aircraft having half the AoA is actually better than a higher AoA, which could get close to a stall. Anyway, no, for a 4 engine aircraft, the deck angle and climb rate, is normal. You cannot compare climb performance of a 4 engine aircraft versus a 2 engine aircraft. A B747 would be the same.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 LOL, climb performance of a high powered twin is somehow lacking vs an older quad jet - watching this video, you just completed your statement in buffoonery. What matters most is thrust/weight ratio, NOT the number of engines. Why do I have to explain the obvious? Yes, AoA and deck angle are different, but my point is the same, this is not a typical nose up attitude for a large commercial airliner - that the video clearly shows the aircraft struggling to gain altitude, and you think its 'normal' - again indicates a clear lack of the fundamentals.
A fully loaded A340-300 needs 10,000 feet to take off and that runway was 10,630 feet long, so they certainly didn't leave themselves much margin for error.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 LOL - still has no idea why the 343s were undesirable. Still has no clue why derating in a 343 is an oxymoron - still has to point out they are 'type rated' in order to sound serious. Notice how I've not once mentioned anything about my aviation background? And that I use terms like 343 and 346 ?
I feel like seeing a B-2 in person for the first time would really either make you think "aliens" or "sci-fi" lol. It looks so different than any standard plane. Also, those 'jellyfish' SpaceX trails on launch are so awesome. Even better from altitude.
@@Iexpedite1I am old(ish) and started flying when I was a kid... I still love watching helicopters and other aircraft flying. Aviation gets in your blood... or maybe that's the jet fuel lol.
Our son and I saw a B-2 (I think Aircraft #6 at the time) do a fly-by at the Reading, PA, Airshow (Pennsylvania Dutch country). After it flew over, I said "I wonder what the Amish with their horse and buggies are thinking as they look up and see this crazy-looking flying machine?"
I remember news reports when I was younger about triangular shaped shadowy UFO’s over the desert in Nevada. The truth seekers would always saw, “We don’t have aircraft like that. Has to be alien.” 😂😂😂
I've seen many photos of them. Was near an airport and a B2 was doing a flyby for some event. I was at the grocery store, heard something loud and close, looked up and saw it very very close to the ground and turning. It was a bit startling maybe scary even though I realized immediately what it was. I totally understand how people reported it as an alien ship for many years and probably still do.
I hope that A340 that took off too late had a strong tail wind and got to its destination on schedule. Also, I noticed that the low battery warning light was flashing on the tummy of the Birmingham A380. I hope they remembered to change the batteries.
I know. Plus that airport is at 2,000 feet altitude, and the air density at that height has a significant effect on the take-off run. Clearly the pilot simply used all of the available runway before rotating. That allows the pilot not to over-stress the engines and still achieve the necessary ground speed before rotating out.@@podunkman2709
That Emirates a380 had 2 go arounds at Birmingham due to the weather. I was working at Heathrow last week and manage to see about 15-20 go arounds during winds between 50-70mph
Even though i have flown like 60+ times now i still get a bit scared when aircraft reduce thrust a lot after takeoff like in that one clip, just that sudden g-force reduction always gets me
That was not smoke. It was vapor, from water evaporating off the engine cowlings on the first startup on a wet and cold morning. It happens all the time.
I grew up living in Eagle Rock and Pasadena along the flight path for the Rose bowl flyover. That was my favorite part of every New Year that there was planes.
I saw my place of employment as the A330 pilot began to bank slightly to the left as he was climbing out. We're at the corner of Sullivan Rd and Old National. That's cool.
We need to give Aerosucre a break. Campinas is at 2,000ft altitude and that has a significant effect on take off performance. Plus these aircraft are probably jammed full of bales of cocaine.
was on a flight up the coast one night and the pilot said he was swinging around to watch the launch from Cape Kennedy out the side windows. We were over South Carolina and could easily see the rocket's glare in Florida. (300-400 miles away?)
Interesting to see the 340 and the 380 in the same video. One 4 engine aircraft struggles to get off the ground, the other rockets away on a go around.
1:45 That kind of white "smoke" we had once inside the passenger cabin right after takeoff. Nobody seemed to care but it freaked me out like mad 😱 Later I was told it was coming through the air conditioner and though it wasn't desirable, it was harmless.
The smoke in the video is fumes from the incomplete combustion of the jet fuel. What you saw in the cabin was just water vapor and air from the HVAC system
The "smoke" in the cabin is just water vapor. Extremely normal. The smoke from the engine is unburned fuel, not actually smoke. Happens when the ignitors don't ignite the fuel immediately. Not abnormal at all. It is also quite normal in my experience to get a whiff of fuel when the airplane first switches from air provided by the auxiliary power unit (apu) to the main engines after they have started up. Newer planes like the 787 do not use engine bleed air for cabin air, so this won't happen.
if there was NO smell, it was a water vapour event caused by high outside temperatures - if it HAD a chemical smell to it, you were just poisoned by a known neurotoxin from the engine oils
Does the A343 really still underperform even in max TOGA setting? I am doubtful...can't possibly, can it? That must have been a derated thrust takeoff.
Kennedy Steve tells this story about an A340 pilot that referred to the aircraft as a big plane with 4 hair dryers under the wings. Apparently the plane is known for being under powered.
yes the engines are way too small for an aircraft that size ,they are only 5cs not fit for purpose for a plane this size,,but none the less they just about fulfill thier job,, the A 330 has 2 larger 100 inch fancase engines like PW 4000S and CF 6s way better suited for short take offs way more thrust for an aircraft similar to the A 340 -300
1:40 this could be a "new" engine aka one that has just come from the factory/shop and it might still have the transport oil covering everything inside. idk if they spray a film of oil over the engines internals or if its just the oil they put in the bearings for transport of what but they smoke like hell on their first startup after being built/rebuilt and transported. EDIT its not FIRST startup, they test run engines before shipping them off to get installed, but they have to set them up for transport after they test them.
@@u2bear377 You know i think you might be right. Maybe they didn't run it long enough on that test to burn it all off? Or maybe something else is going on. At first i thought it was condensation from the air temp/humidity but that looks too smokey.
@@u2bear377 Yes! When I was a jet engine mech in the Air Force (US), we always did a maintenance run after every engine installation. It would be crazy not to. You have to do a leak and ops check. I'm not sure what's going on in this video, bc I assume commercial acft would have the same rules. The smoke you see is from the oil being burnt from the fuel lines. If an engine is going to sit for any length of time, a light coating of oil is introduced through the engine's fuel system. This is to prevent any possibility of condensation (moisture) to accumulate within the fuel lines, and other engine components.
A340 long takeoff roll - it appears that flaps were not extended for takeoff? Most large aircraft have some flaps extended for takeoff to improve lift.
I was taking off from John Wayne Airport a few years ago and pilot came on the PA and said, " just to give you a heads up due to noise abatement rules for Newport Beach if you haven't taken off from this airport were going to take off full power and basically Pop A Wheelie and take off at full power back after we reach a couple Thousand feet." Was just funny he used "Pop A wheelie" analogy. I have flown out of SNA " John Wayne " a million times so i knew but thought it was funny.
1st one was a whimp! In Strategic Air Command a KC-135 was ALWAYS scheduled to T/O if we actually launched while on Alert with a TOGW that made us Rotate Just Before the Runway End Markes went by the windows AND GOT AIRBORNE with 50-100' of remaining in the OVERRUN. Our base was lucky & only had a 6' chain link fence around it & we took off after 4 B-52's. We hoped that one of those BUFFS would flatten it Before the 135's had to. 🫣 Thank God I was Young & Stupid in those days, Scares the BeJesus out of me today. ✈️
Ah the A340-300, four hair dryers flying in close formation. The A340-300 reminds me of the good ole days of the DC-8-61/63 using up the entire runway and then having to circle the field so that the control tower could make sure there wasn't any part of a chainlink fence stuck in the landing before they retracted it.
A340-300: What is engine power? Pilot: Goddamnit, I knew I shoulda unlocked the new engine upgrade before this flight..... B2: Its a stealth plane, you saw nothing!
That first clip of the Air X A340 take off, Aerosucre would consider that perfect.
They would like it for sure but I'm not sure they would consider it 'perfect'... because the full runway length was not used and no fences were cleared as part of the standard takeoff procedure at Aerosucre!
@@Vishnu-Bnot to mention, they forgot to do the classic bank angle after takeoff that aerosucre loves to do
Those were ex-Aerosucre pilots flying the A340

The old joke is that an A-340 relies on the curvature of the earth to gain altitude.
That old joke "curvature" ? lol
Hahaha!
LOL . Love it.
then, this clip prove the earth is flat
im guessing its specific to the A343 - the 346 has much better performance
Legend has it, the A340 is still climbing to its cruising altitude to this day…

the plane is well outside of the exclusion zone, and the second stage of the rocket shown here is already outside of the atmosphere

A340 long takeoff roll - it appears that flaps were not extended for takeoff? Most large aircraft have some flaps extended for takeoff to improve lift.
I was taking off from John Wayne Airport a few years ago and pilot came on the PA and said, " just to give you a heads up due to noise abatement rules for Newport Beach if you haven't taken off from this airport were going to take off full power and basically Pop A Wheelie and take off at full power back after we reach a couple Thousand feet."
Was just funny he used "Pop A wheelie" analogy. I have flown out of SNA " John Wayne " a million times so i knew but thought it was funny.
Not sure what you mean by 'taking off too late' in your leader, as it seemed there was still runway available.
Let’s be honest, the intro song makes your head bobble
1st one was a whimp! In Strategic Air Command a KC-135 was ALWAYS scheduled to T/O if we actually launched while on Alert with a TOGW that made us Rotate Just Before the Runway End Markes went by the windows AND GOT AIRBORNE with 50-100' of remaining in the OVERRUN. Our base was lucky & only had a 6' chain link fence around it & we took off after 4 B-52's. We hoped that one of those BUFFS would flatten it Before the 135's had to.
🫣 Thank God I was Young & Stupid in those days, Scares the BeJesus out of me today. ✈️
As much as I love the A340s design, history and how unique it is compared to other aircraft, those engines really could be better.
Thank you
The rotation was very smooth and slow. That caused it (A340) to take off too late.
Or lack of air-speed.
Because they didn't have the airspeed to crank it. Cranking it would have exceeded the critical angle of attack and stalled it.
...And the part that rotated was the runway. :)
Was that the Air X, 9H-BIG?? A340 are so underpowered, literally used the whole runway from my local airport
Just about in time not too late dog.
A340 in SBKP. Gorgeous Day ❤️
Air X is a re-incarnation of Aero Sucre 0:30
I've paid for the use of the runway, I'm using every last inch of it 😂
Now I know where my thrown out hair dryers end up.
0:45 why is he filming the B-2 instead of the screaming bigfoot
2:33 The sound of the mighty Rolls-Royce power
Ah the A340-300, four hair dryers flying in close formation.
The A340-300 reminds me of the good ole days of the DC-8-61/63 using up the entire runway and then having to circle the field so that the control tower could make sure there wasn't any part of a chainlink fence stuck in the landing before they retracted it.
Not too late, just in time
The 777 startup doesn't look normal
A340-300: What is engine power?
Pilot: Goddamnit, I knew I shoulda unlocked the new engine upgrade before this flight.....
B2: Its a stealth plane, you saw nothing!
"it took off too early. There were at least other 5 meters of runway and 5 of terrain". (Cit. Aerosucre)
