RE: A330 v A340
Lets also not forget the A340 has the additional rear set of centre landing wheels!

RE: A330 v A340
Personally, I prefer the A340. It is such a graceful looking airplane.

Until RR Trents claim their place on the A340-500 and -600!

RE: A330 v A340
main difference is range…A330=8334 km while A340=around 12,000 km. Interesting to know the A330 generates more thrust than the A340…
Thrust
A330: 135 000 lb (GE CF6 engines)
A340: 124 800 lb (CFM 56 engines)

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 22-07-02 AT 03:07 PM (GMT)]Other varients between the A330 and A340,aside from the number of engines, are slight changes to the wingand internal systems,including fuel tankage.Also the number of passengers each can sit.The A330-300 can carry 335 whereas the A340-200 can carry 303.The A330-300 can carry 293 and the A340-300 can carry 335 passengers.
Other than a few other small things I think that both have much the same features which include:
Identical systems.
Airframe.
Flightdeck.
Wings.
