The A340 was introduced 30 years ago with Lufthansa and Air France, but only 380 have been produced since, the last in 2012. By comparison, Airbus has already made 565 of its successor, the A350 ...
The Airbus A340 is a long-range, wide-body passenger airliner that was developed and produced by Airbus.In the mid-1970s, Airbus conceived several derivatives of the A300, its first airliner, and developed the A340 quadjet in parallel with the A330 twinjet.
An CFM56-5C on an A340. With a thrust rating of between 31,200 and 34,000 lbf (139 kN and 151 kN), the CFM56-5C series is the most powerful of the CFM56 family. It powers Airbus' long-range A340-200 and -300 airliners, and entered service in 1993. The major changes are a larger fan, a fifth low-pressure turbine stage, and the same four-stage ...
Airbus adds the SuperFan as an engine offering for its proposed new A340 airplane. [8] 15 January 1987 Airbus announces its first sale of the A340: a purchase from Lufthansa of 15 jets with options for 15 more, using the SuperFan engine. [9] 23 January 1987 Boeing offers the SuperFan as an alternative engine option for its proposed new 7J7 ...

The MacCready Gossamer Condor is a human-powered aircraft capable of flight as slow as 8 miles per hour (13 km/h). Its successor, the MacCready Gossamer Albatross can fly as slow as 9.23 miles per hour (14.85 km/h). [1]
The left laminar flow wing section. Natural laminar flow is opposed to hybrid laminar flow artificially induced through hardware. It is difficult to industrialise a wing smooth enough to sustain the laminar flow in operation, due to having very low design and manufacturing tolerances, leading-edge retractable slats, and fasteners, that is aerodynamically robust enough, and can withstand ...
Airbus decided on 26 December 1986 to offer the SuperFan as a primary engine option for the A340. [7] In late January, Boeing announced that it was studying the SuperFan as an option for the 150-seat 7J7 mid-range aircraft, with the SuperFan mounted under the wings instead of the aft fuselage mounting of the 7J7's baseline engine, the General ...
