The '''Airbus A340-600''' is an [[aircraft]] by [[:Category:Airbus|Airbus]] Industries of France. The aircraft is the longest [[:Category:Civilian aircraft|civil]] [[:Category:Airliners|airliner]] in world, and is currently being developed into [[FlightGear]] by Liam, starting in November 2009. It is still in Alpha stage, the model is complete but XML's, [[FDM]]'s and other specs are in progress. | |||
Designed as an early generation [[Boeing 747|747]] replacement, the A340-600 flies 380 passengers in a three-class cabin layout (419 in 2 class) 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 rolled out in 2010. | |||
