About the history of Airbus A340-500&A340-600

The 15,740km (8500nm) ultra long range A340-500 and stretched 372 seat A340-600 are new variants of the Airbus A340 family, and are currently the world's longest range airliners. Compared with the A340-300, the A340-600 features a 9.07m (35ft 1in) stretch (5.87m/19ft 3in ahead of the wing and 3.20m/10ft 6in behind), allowing it to seat 372 passengers in a typical three class arrangement. This gives Airbus a true early model 747 replacement and near direct competitor to the 747-400, with similar range, but, Airbus claims, better operating economics (per seat). The A340-500 meanwhile is stretched by only 3.19m (10ft 6in) compared with the A340-300, and so seats 313 in three classes, but it has a massive range of 15,740km (8500nm), which makes it the longest ranging airliner in the world, capable for example of operating Los Angeles-Singapore nonstop. The two new A340 models share a common wing. The wing is based on the A330/A340's but is 1.6m (5.2ft) longer and has a tapered wingbox insert, increasing wing area and fuel capacity. Both models feature three fuselage plugs. The other change to the A340 airframe is the use of the A330-200 twin's larger fin and enlarged horizontal area stabilisers. To cope with the increased weights the centre undercarriage main gear is a four wheel bogie, rather than a two wheel unit. Both new A340s have a high degree of commonality with the A330 and other A340 models. They feature Airbus' common two crew flightdeck, but with some improvements such as LCD rather than CRT displays and modernised systems. The A340-500 is powered by four 236kN (53,000lb) thrust Rolls-Royce Trent 556 turbofans, and the A340-600 by the 249kN (56,000lb) thrust Trent 556. The commercial launch for the A340-500/600 was at the 1997 Paris Airshow, the program's industrial launch was in December that year when Virgin Atlantic ordered eight A340-600s and optioned eight. First flight of the A340-600 was made on April 23, 2001. After a 1600 hour flight test program, certification was received on May 29, 2002. Virgin Atlantic took delivery of its first A340-600 at the 2002 Farnborough International Airshow, and began commercial services in August. The A340-500 made its first flight on February 11, 2002, and was certificated on December 3 after 400 hours of flight test.

About the history of Swissair A340-600

Swissair ordered nine Airbus A340-600 in 1997, replacing the MD-11, which will be its first customer. In addition, there are also options for an additional 8 aircraft, which can be modified to A340-300 if necessary. With a length of 75.3 meters and a span of 63.6 meters, it will be the
longest aircraft of Swissair.Under full load, the direct flight to Buenos Aires has a range of 13'900 kilometers. Compared
to MD-11, the noise level will decrease from 340 dB to 89 dB when starting at a maximum charge of 92 dB. In terms of pollutants, improvements will also be achieved from Class 3 emissions to Class 4 emissions. The seat configuration includes 12 first class seats, 48 business class seats and 247 economy class seats. However, since Swissair went bankrupt and closed its business on March 31, 2002, most of its assets were sold to Crossair (later renamed Swiss International
Airlines). According to the public opinion at that time, the nine A340-600 ordered by Swissair would be delivered to Crossair and painted with Crossair, but technically, they should have been acquired by Flightlease(Aircraft leasing
companies under SAirGroup),In order to continue leasing to Swissair, Flightlease also merged with other companies in the SAirGroup/Swissair Group, and the A340-600 appeared to have excess capacity for the newly established Swiss International Airlines at the time, Swiss International Airlines changed nine A340-600 orders and eight intention orders to nine A340-300 orders and eight intention orders.
The original delivery date for the first nine aircraft was planned as follows:

HB-JMA MSN:410 was originally scheduled to be delivered on July 28, 2002, Later delivered as ZS-SNA to South African Airlines.
HB-JMB MSN:417 was originally scheduled to be delivered on August 17, 2002, later delivered as ZS-SNB to South African Airlines.
HB-JMC MSN:426 was originally scheduled to be delivered on September 7, 2002, later delivered as ZS-SNC to South African Airlines.
HB-JMD MSN:431 was originally scheduled to be delivered on September 28, 2002, later delivered as EC-INO to Iberia.
HB-JME MSN:440 was originally scheduled to be delivered on October 19, 2002, and later delivered as EC-IOB to Iberia.
