View Full Version : So will the A340 still cut it?
Perhaps all this will do the trick (http://shortlinks.co.uk/41)

Now AI looks like chasing its tail. But OK it is logical to go on and fight the 777.
I guess they're into that for both 350 and 340NG (should I call it that actually or it will in time become 360)?;)
They still do not want to venture in fully composite fuse. Sad, since AI has enough expertise.

A340-600E in service in 2011? That is snails pace - plenty of time for Boeing/GE to do incremental improvements to the 777-300ER, and probably leapfrog any improvements that the 346E will have.
Quite innovative making it a tri-jet - one port and 2 starbord!
