The Airbus A340 600 is a jumbo passenger jet that, at its highest, was priced at 245 million U.S. dollars. Touted as the passenger jumbo jet with higher benefits and proven seats, the Airbus A340 600 was manufactured in 2006 by the Airbus company. Production for it has been discontinued, likely because of its rather lethargic speed.

Though the engine of the Airbus A340 600 was touted as being very powerful, it may have fallen short for this incredibly gargantuan aircraft. This reduced speed is seen in the A340’s cruising speed. The A340 has a cruising speed of Mach 0.86, which is noticeably slower than the Mach 0.89 of the Boeing 777, despite them flying similar routes. The parts for this aircraft were manufactured by the Thales and Smiths Avionics company. The engine was of the 4 X Rolls Royce Trent 556 variety, which carried a power of 53,000 pound-force and a maximum cruise speed of 504 knots or 933 kilometers per hour. The approach speed was about 7,750 nautical miles which roughly translates to 14,353 kilometers. Meanwhile the fuel economy reserves about 0.14 nautical miles per gallon or about 0.068 kilometres per litre. While the fuel economy was somewhat decent, the service ceiling attained was significantly improved with it reaching a height of 39,000 feet. The rate of climb is about12 feet per minute, which when translated in metric terms is 0.06 metre per second.
