All I know is that I flew AF A340 from IAH-CDG, and it was one of the quietest jets in the worrld, but definitely not designed for my 6'2'' frame in coach. Not that CO is much better with their 777/767's, but the Airbus product, at least on European-flagged carriers, are definitely designed for the Euro-Body.
