Airbus has several models of its A340 series, and the A340-500 has the longest range, at about 9,000 nautical miles, and can hold up to 313 passengers in a three-class configuration. The plane features four Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engines and can carry up to 56,870 gallons of fuel. Though the A380 gets all the ink, the A340-500 has the longest range of any Airbus airplane.
The plane is 223 feet long, has a 57-foot-high tail, and a wingspan of 208 feet.
