Giant Aircraft: Manufacturing an Airbus A350 | Mega Manufacturing | Free Documentary

Mega Manufacturing: Airbus A350 | 4K Engineering Documentary

Assembled in France using millions of components made throughout Europe: The A350 is the most modern commercial aircraft in the world.

The Airbus A 350: the most modern commercial aircraft in the world. It takes 1800 highly-skilled specialists in Toulouse, France, and 2.5 million individual parts, delivered from all over the world, to assemble this masterpiece of aeronautic engineering. The goal: An aircraft with minimal consumption and maximum range. 53 percent of the Aircraft consist of a modern ultra-light composite material. But the innovative material also requires entirely new manufacturing processes. A challenge for the aircraft manufacturers in Toulouse. And the final assembly is preceded by a logistical masterpiece: The individual parts of the aircraft travel from various Airbus plants in Europe to Toulouse: the front and centre sections from Saint-Nazaire in France, the tail section from Hamburg, the wings from Broughton in Wales and Bremen, and the tail fin from Getafe in Spain. The factory in Toulouse is supplied with these parts by a specially developed transport aircraft, the Beluga. Several times a day, five of these machines commute between the various plants and bring supplies for production seven days a week from early in the morning until midnight. And the journey of the components is not over in Toulouse. By the time the A350 is fully assembled it will have passed through seven hangars or "stations." Given the extremely high number of components that have to be assembled and the large number of different suppliers, there are a lot of risk factors involved in the production of the A350. And the pressure is high: The modern aircraft is extremely popular with airlines, with 890 pending orders to date. Ten aircraft of the A350 have to leave the factory every month no matter what.

Football stadiums are documentaries favorite unit of measurement.

Too bad Boeing can't build a plane like this, heck, they can even put bolts in their " door plugs", Jan. 2024, one of their doors flew off a plane at 16 thousand feet over Oregon, they found the " door" in someone backyard, no bolts to be found

[samvillafana]

Boeing should watch this and take notes

[ankit-jangid]

huge respect to the whole team who put their efforts in building such a complex machine. Where no single mistake is allowed, its such a appreciable task.

This channel is pure heaven for documentary lovers!

[ademeionademo]

It's nice to see people being proud of their work, and being in good mood while they work. It's not surprising that the quality is top notch when people are like that.

This documentary offers an incredible glimpse into the complex and meticulous process of building the Airbus A350. It's awe-inspiring to see the dedication of the specialists and the logistical precision required for this aeronautic masterpiece. Thanks for shedding light on this remarkable engineering feat.

[arcaelum]

As a citizen of Toulouse, Thanks for your incredibe documentary on aircraft manufacturing. We are very proud of our high
engineering here.

Assembly of 2 million parts, what an engineering marvel ! Hats Off

[Thewinter]

Fascinating. Not only it’s the state of the art of an aircraft but it is also the safest. Bravo A350!

[tomschaffner]

Who wants to see how all the parts are made?

[gooner]

A350 is the most beautiful aircraft designed since the Concorde, her wing design should be considered as an art masterpiece in my opinion. Her amazing Rolls Royce XWB's are a an engineering marvel and they're unbelievably clever and efficient.

[Stigbishops]

This channel is solid gold!! Great documentary!

[aportman]

I am 61 years old and have flown many times but I am still in awe every time I board a plan to fly somewhere! Aircraft have always been fascinating to me and amazing they will lift off the ground with tons of weight!!!!

As a lifelong Boeing fan (lost alot of respect for them lately), growing up next to those gigantic buildings where they assemble the plane's, I have to admit that Airbus is impressive. They are half the age of Boeing and are currently destroying them on every level. Their plane's are incredibly safe, effective and efficient. Boeing has some really safe and effective plane's too, but Airbus is more consistent nowadays. I really hope that Boeing becomes the company I grew up loving again. Both Airbus and Boeing need each other. I want them both to succeed equally. I do believe the Max embarassment and the 20 billion dollar hit to their bottom line has woke them up. It's in their own best interest to make safe plane's. Another plane goes down for a design flaw? That's it for Boeing. Delay the plane as long as it takes! Even on that front Airbus is doing better. Their plane's suffer far fewer delays and they generally don't go over budget too much (787 I'm looking at you). All of us Boeing fans need to give respect where it is due. No other aviation company has survived their battle with Boeing other then Airbus. Now they have 60% of the global aviation market share when 30 years ago they had 5%. That's genius engineering from four European nations with hard work and passion. Let's all hope Boeing comes back with a vengeance and truly competes once again!

This documentary was beyond fantastic! The sort of efficiency and precision that goes into building these aircrafts is simply amazing. Great video!

[MotorScotti]

I absolutely love these mega manufacturing documentaries! Thanks a lot, guys!

[hagarthehorrible]

I've flown hundreds of times but everytime I board a plane I'm in awe of the engineering. It's a metal tube flying at insane speeds thousands of feet in the air.

People at Airbus are ALLOWED to be proud, their work adds to the safety of the aircraft--not recognised at Boeing, GREED backed by government, is at the forefront.

[phuketexplorer]

Built by a company with its eye on safety and performance, not cutting corners to save money!
