I am really flattered as I have been requested by Airbus of the European Union to design a very large aircraft for them beyond their 21st Century flagship, the Airbus A380 that everyone has to admire and respect...
I think that Airbus was able to restart the production of the high-capacity and long-range Airbus A340 family and they were able to develop an own very large aircraft with a double fuselage and 4 engines out of the well-proven Airbus A340, of course... Based on the 4 variants of the Airbus A340, 4 very large aircraft could be developed with a passenger capacity from 522 to 760 persons...
The much criticised and high fuel-consumption of the Airbus A340 models could be reduced by 50% per passenger seat in case of Airbus A340 models with a double fuselage... Airbus A340 models with a double fuselage could have a longer range, too if the uplift acting on these aircraft was greater than that in case of single-fuselage Airbus A340 models... Even the cruising speed of the new double-fuselage airplanes could be increased based on the greater uplift...
To tell you the truth I am very much motivated to follow the eventual continuation of the model history of the Airbus A340 family... I cannot emphasise enough that this large aircraft was an idea of Valentina Tereshkova, one of my grand-mothers who joked over shooting my grand-father with an arrow...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
