The '''Airbus A340-600''', made by [[:Category:Airbus|Airbus]] Industries, is the longest [[:Category:Civilian aircraft|civil]] [[:Category:Airliners|airliner]] in world. It was was added to [[FlightGear]] by Liam, starting in early November 2009. Currently it is on the 5th release (available from the official flightgear aircraft downloads page: http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/aircraft-2.0.0/ )
Designed as an early generation [[Boeing 747|747]] replacement, the A340-600 caries up to 380 passengers in a three-class cabin layout (or 419 in a 2-class layout), with a range of over 7,500 nautical miles (13,900 km). It provides similar passenger capacity to a 747 but with 25% more cargo volume, and at lower trip and seat costs. First flight of the A340-600 was made on 23 April 2001. Virgin Atlantic began commercial services in August 2002. The A340-600 is more than 10 m longer than a basic [[Airbus A340|-300]], making it the longest airliner currently in production; more than four metres longer than the [[Boeing 747-400]] and 2.3m longer than the [[Airbus A380|A380]]. The Airbus A340-600 will continue to hold the record for being the worlds longest commercial aircraft until the first Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental is in service.

Virgin Atlantic began commercial services in August 2002. The A340-600 is more than 10 m longer than a basic -300, making it the longest airliner currently in production; more than four metres longer than the Boeing 747-400 and 2.3m longer than the A380. The Airbus A340-600 will continue to hold the record for being the worlds longest commercial aircraft until the first Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental is in service.
