Airbus A340 is a wide-body, four-engine passenger plane manufactured by Airbus. The main use of this aircraft is to transport a large number of passengers over long distances. The construction of Airbus A340 began in 1987 and first flew on October 25, 1991. The design and construction of this aircraft was done at the same time as the Airbus A330. The A340 is offered in three models, the 300, 500 and 600, with the 300 model designed for routes of over 7,400 nautical miles (13,700 km), meeting all the needs of 300 passengers for these trips. The 500, the longest-range model, is capable of carrying more than 313 passengers in 3 classes for routes of more than 9,000 nautical miles (16,700 km). Singapore Airlines uses this model for the Singapore-Los Angeles route, which takes more than 19 hours. Also, this model uses Rolls Royce engines. The 600 model, which is the longest model of the 340, can carry 360 passengers in 3 classes or 419 passengers in 2 classes for routes of more than 7900 nautical miles. This model, like the 500 model, uses Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engines.
