Airbus's web site says that the 340-600 is 246 feet, 11 inches. Boeing's
web site says that the 777-300 is 242' 4". The 747-400 is a "mere" 231'
10", while the 757-300, often lambasted for being so long, is 178' 7". (The
767-400 is 201' 4".)

>Is there something out there even longer?

The Concorde is 202' 4", rather long for a 100 seat aircraft, but short in
this context. :-)  The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is 247', largest in the USAF
inventory. The Antonov An-124 is "only" 227'. The one-off An-225 is 275'
7", but when was the last time it flew? :-) (And, besides, this is an
AIRLINES list. :-) )
