Foto F-WWAI in LYS/LFLL - Lyon [Saint-Exupery], France © by Patrice TAPPA




Airport: LYS/LFLL - Lyon [Saint-Exupery], France Date: 15-January-2010 
Airline: Airbus Industrie   Aircraft: Airbus A340-313 Photographer: Patrice TAPPA 
Registration + Info:  F-WWAI [Canon 40D] Humanitarian flight chartered by Action Contre la Faim (ACF) with help of Airbus for victims of Haiti's earthquake. 20 tons of humanitarian emergency are ready to take off from the runway 36L for Port-au-Prince via Fort-de-France. Edit regarding the cargo-door look alike behind L3: Airbus made some experiments in mid-2008 on this section. The fuselage skin in aluminium alloy was peeled off and replaced by carbon layers. In the end, they found that carbon was lighter so produced some weight savings but using it gave an increase in cabin noise in this area, just aft of the engines. In other words this is not a cargo door. Thanks to atdb.aero for clarification. /Ingo (....more pictures of F-WWAI) ID: 910029 / 10468 views
