    I geuss the A340 is not very much under power, it is just the wing design and the angle of the wings attached (inclined) to the fuselage is greater than some other aircrafts (compare with Boeing if you like).

    Well, for a normal operating weight, a take off without flap is not possible for most heavy airliners...flaps play an important role in a flight.

            Straight from a 757 pilot I know... flaps 5 if the runway is long enough and they arent that heavy. Flaps 15 if the runway proves to be a challenge. Hope that helps.

                  The A300 and A210 can do "zero flap" take-off's but they use 5 slats.
