A330 vs A340 at FL350
Given the sensitivity on this forum I hesitate to ask this question (Sensitivity I don't agree with BTW, there are always idiots and you can't sanction for them)
We have much discussion about the fact the A330 was likely to have been operating out of it's comfort zone at FL350 at this point in the flight. Pretty much in Coffin corner.
So the question is "Given the same route and passenger/freight loading would the A340-300 be operating with a greater speed margin at FL350"?.
I sort of expect it would, being a longer range aircraft, but hard information has been surprisingly hard to find.
(This question is prompted by the IB flight going through at FL370)
