Is A340 a failure?
Fuel consumption was the main issue for the A340. While the -300 and -600 sold well due to their large sizes leading to lower per-seat costs, there was less of a market for the smaller and longer-range -200 and -500. The -200 especially faced sales issues, with none remaining in commercial service today.

Techincally, there is only one way for the aircraft to remain hanging motionless in the air: if weight and lift cancel each other out perfectly, and at the same time thrust and drag cancel each other out too. But this is incredibly rare. To stay in the air and sustain its flight, an aircraft needs to be moving forward.
