Designed as a four-engined long-range complement to the A330, the A340 competes primarily with Boeing's 777 and 747. The A340 shares many features with the A330, including the same fuselage, landing gear, tail assembly, flight deck, and basic wing. The wing structure and leading-edge slats are slightly modified because of the two additional engines that power the A340. The first two major versions of the A340 are the basic A340-300 and the extended-range A340-200. A combined passenger/freight A340-300 model has also been developed. One of the latest models is the A340-600 with a longer fuselage for up to 410 (and possibly 550) passengers and much more powerful engines. A shorter A340-500 with enlarged wings and increased fuel capacity complements the -600 by offering even greater range. Over 230 examples of the A340 had been built by 2003, but further sales have been quite weak. By 2009, the backlog had become so small that production could could conceivably end in 2010. Airbus design study based on the A300 that led to the A340 concept Long-range model with a shorter fuselage; 28 built by 2001.High-gross weight variant based on the A340-200 with increased fuel capacity and reduced passenger load for very long range. First production model; 163 built by 2001. Combined passenger/cargo model based on the A340-300 and typically carrying 190 to 220 passengers plus four to six cargo pallets. Upgrade available for A340-300 airframes that includes a fly-by-wire controlled rudder, improved flight deck, and a revised cabin. High-gross weight variant based on the A340-300 with increased fuel capacity, a strengthened wing structure, and uprated engines. Long-range model with a fuselage 10.50 ft (3.20 m) longer than the A340-300 and wings roughly 20% larger to carry about 318 to 440 passengers and fitted with uprated engines. High-gross weight variant based on the A340-500 with the increased fuel capacity and strengthened structure of the A340-600 HGW for greater range. Long-range model with a fuselage 35.75 ft (10.90 m) longer than the A340-300 for 380 to 485 passengers and equipped with more powerful engines. High-gross weight variant based on the A340-600 with increased fuel capacity and strengthened structure for greater range. Proposed military version similar to the A340-300 Combi for use as a personnel and cargo transport or in-flight refueling tanker. Airbus A340 (Wallpaper 3).
