Have you seen an aircraft climbing very slow on takeoff and made a hairdryer sound? Good chance that it could have been an Airbus A340, also known as the “hairdryer” nicknamed after its engine cone shapes like a hairdryer. The Airbus A340 is a much beloved aircraft in aviation. This footage was taken at different airports around the world.
