The Airbus A340-600 is the largest aircraft in the Airbus A340 family. The total length of the fuselage is 75.3 meters, second only to the length of the Boeing 747-8 (76.4 meters) and the Boeing 777-9x (76.7 meters), the third longest airliner in the world. It is more than 10 meters longer than the Airbus A340-300 and more than 4 meters longer than the Boeing 747-400. At the center bottom of the fuselage there is a set of main landing gear consisting of 4 wheels to withstand the increased maximum take-off weight. It is powered by four Rolls-Royce Trent 556 engines with a thrust of 249 kN.
The Airbus A340-600 is 75.3 meters long, second only to the 76.4 meters of the Boeing 747-8 and the 76.7 meters of the Boeing 777-9x. It is also one of the largest commercial jets in the aviation industry. The Airbus A340-600 aircraft, the longest airframe ever built by Airbus, can carry 380 passengers and has a range of 13,900 kilometers. The aircraft uses a "large circulation" air circulation system, the cabin air is completely updated every 3 minutes, and the air supply is up to 80 times the amount of air required by passengers to breathe. The A340-600 aircraft is fitted with the latest air circulation system and filtration devices to fully connect the air in the cabin with the outside world, thus ensuring that the air in the cabin is clean and fresh.

I have some fondness for the A340, even though its fuselage proportions are not coordinated, although its engine thrust is too small (although the A340 600 has changed engines) despite its unsightly appearance. I did the Lufthansa A340 in Munich in 2017, although I don't know if I was doing a 600 or a 300, so I made it on a whim (although it was a Boeing 777). Although I have done a lot of aircraft, A380 B787 A320 B737.... But I still feel like the A340 is the second favorite in my heart, my favorite 777 has been done before.
The "Higher Gross Weight" model of the Airbus A340-600, designated A340-600HGW. Its maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) is 380 metric tons and its endurance is 7,900 nautical miles (14,600 km). The 600HGW model achieves the above performance due to its enhanced construction, increased fuel carrying capacity, the use of Trent 560 engines to replace the original Trent 556, each providing an additional 4000 pounds of thrust, and new manufacturing technologies such as laser beam welding. The first A340-600HGW was first test-flown on 18 November 2005 and delivered at the end of 2006.
Airbus has previously issued warnings that some A340-600 aircraft may pose a threat to flight safety due to improper design of the front and middle parts. Airbus pointed out that the reason for the excessive weight may be that heavy furniture and entertainment systems are installed in the first class cabin, causing the aircraft to tilt its head down when flying, which is not only inconsistent with aerodynamic principles, but may bring danger to passengers and crew, and when the aircraft flies again, the front low and rear high will also increase the wing drag, which will affect the fuel consumption. Airbus' solution was to reduce the loading of 5 tons of cargo in the front of the aircraft in the cargo compartment. Some airlines do not intend to accept this solution, considering requiring Airbus to compensate for losses caused by underloaded cargo.
