Computer history: User manual for the Amiga 300

[enriquemzn262]

When Airbus was developing the successor of the highly successful A300 twin-engine wide body airliner, their entry into the commercial aircraft market.

They faced the issue of ETOPS restrictions, basically a series of rules that limited aircraft range based on number of engines, and since they wanted to both replace the A300 and compete with the 747 and DC-10/MD-11, they basically developed a single airframe and wing for two planes

The A330, the direct successor to the A300

And the A340, the new challenger in the pacific and long-range flights.

The funny thing is, the A340 didn’t get 4 of the A330 engines, instead, as you can see, it got smaller engines, actually from the narrow body A320.

In effect just giving a tad more power and range compared to the A330, but giving us what has to be the most underpowered wide body airliner ever made, infamous for it’s long take-off runs and atrocious climb rates.

Hence why Airbus came back to its senses and actually gave it proper wide-body engines, finally creating a proper contender to the 747.

Sadly, with the end of the ETOPS restrictions and the rise of ultra-long range twin jets, the days of the A340 were counted, its production run ending in 2010.

Something that actually helped her smaller twin sister A330, which has found new life in the current wide body market thanks to newer, better engines, in a way, learning from the lessons of the A340.

Registration: PP-CLA Type: A300B4-203 Engines: 2 × GE CF6-50C2R Serial Number: 109 First flight: Apr 23, 1980

Serviços Aéreos Cruzeiro do Sul was the second oldest airline of Brazil, tracing its origins to 1927, when it was founded as Syndicato Condor, a subsidiary of Deutsche Luft Hansa. Syndicato Condor retained rights and interests of a former German trade company, Condor Syndikat, which previously operated passenger and mail services in Brazil. It was renamed Cruzeiro do Sul in 1943. In 1979 Cruzeiro bought two Airbus A300B4. In 1975, Varig, a Brazilian airline which shared very similar origins, acquired its controlling shares. In 1993, it was finally merged into Varig.
