A340 With Twin Engine Config

63.8k NewWorldAerospace  1.4 years ago

What If : A340 (Either The Short -200/300 Or The Long -500/600) Use 2x Rolls-Royce Trent 700 Or 2x Rolls Royce Trent 7000 Instead Of 4x CFM56 ? Would It Gonna Be More Efficient Than Current/Old A340 ? Also, Would It Gonna Fix The "Underpowered Thrust" Issue ?

Also, Its Gonna Be Legit If Someone Made One

    @OkaNieba well they are basically the same airframe. The primary reason why the A340 has 4 engines was because ETOPS wasn’t a thing back then for dual engines airliners.
    So technically an A330 sounds like what you’re trying to describe unless other things were missed out.

    I think it would since the since airbus planned on a re-engining the a340 but the alternative iae SuperFan concept didn’t takeoff so the cfm56 was the only option at the time. As for the longer versions of the A340, they use a more powerful Trent 500
