Four-engine aircraft

Four-engine jets — quadjets — once ruled long-haul flying before efficient twins displaced them. This list covers the surviving giants in our database: the double-deck Airbus A380, the Boeing 747 family, and the long-range Airbus A340, each built for range, payload, or sheer capacity that twins could not match in their era.
