The PLANE MAKERS: High-Tech Aircraft On The Assembly Line | Full Documentary
Video Overview & Insights
The Airbus plant in Hamburg-Finkenwerder is one of the world's largest locations for modern aircraft construction. 365 days a year around 16,000 workers and engineers produce here in cooperation with other locations in Europe. The backbone of Airbus logistics: the giant cargo-plane Beluga. Around 2,500 wings, cockpits and hulls were transported by Airbus Belugas every year between the eleven factories in Europe. This report gives an insight into the complex workflows in modern aircraft production.
The scale of what it took to get to the point of making the very first part or assembling the very first section. All the paperwork, research and development, trial and error, manufacturing techniques, manpower, etc. It must take a ton of people and computers to make something like this happen in such a short amount of time. How do they ever get the money required for such a massive operation?

Cant be to hard. In Africa the do it in their backyard , one man, one plane. Planeconstruction is overrated.

@TanThienNguyen-t3nMay I ask who the narrator is? I hear him on a lot of documentaries, and he is one of the best I have ever hear. Thank you!
@leosutter7853Good Dear brothers
@KayembaFrancisThanks hardworking
@KayembaFrancisTruck driver: I drive trucks. I'm cool.
Beluga pilot: hold my beer.
US is a unique country for so many inventions esp aircraft
@seguntunde777It ruins the video when you put the end card adverts for more videos up during the last 15 seconds, it block the view of your video and causes me frustration. Please STOP doing it.

Enjoyed this documentary, this assembly line in so precise with specialized works that thave specific skills at a pace that isn't overwhelming for the workers, yet produces these planes to completely unmatched quality. Really gave me insight of the many highly skilled workers it takes to create these planes. When I board one in the future I will have a deeper appreciation of flying in an airbus and of the work that is involved in building this remarkable ✈ 45:21 Thank you. 😊
@57113Wow bloody wings I still find it amazing
@garrieleepeck8753No comment 1
@dannygayler3164For my next flight I will prefer an AirBus. After all the whistleBlowing at Boeing : Quality and security matters
@ulfthorsteinandreassen721Airbus no longer has to worry about intense competition.. unless it's who the first to lose a cabin door midflight
@vuongn2318Airbus is an amazing airliner manufacturer!
I wish my country (Netherlands) also is part of the production
Brezveze. 😛😇Pls 4 the next video. SOFORT!!!
@TheStanemthis documentary can only give a glimpse of the heroism I've seen these heroes do.
Kudos to everyone on any aircraft engineering team
No doubts, German "Welt" ('world') is of the same origin with "Welle" ('wave'). What kind of waves does that broadcaster emits when so many "Helden" ('heroes') of this movie became bald?
@antitrokov1356who's here after Boeing has officially become everyone's second choice
@PreInternetThey produced four of these planes. The first three crashed.
@mudd428425:26 Amazing those wings weigh onky 2.6 tons each and not only do they contain multiple tons of fuel , have engines weighing 7.2 tons each hanging off of their underside which are capable of exerting a combined 88 tons force of lateral push / thrust on them but also lift the A350 which fully loaded weighs 322 tons . It's crazy that they are just roughly 32 meter cantilevers jutting out off the fuselage.

@dslarizonadslScare Buss. Garbage.
@ferrariguy638912:28 B787 should be listening to this about removing debris.
@GSteel-rh9iu46:16 the soundrack here sounds litteraly like from: Tron Legacy (the movie) 🙂
@InterAstefanMechanicVielen Dank allen Mitarbeitern an Kompetenz Arbeitsplätzen Zufrieden haben können bitteschön Betrachten Wertigkeit für Menschheit Qualifiziert Lebensmitteln brauchen immer Labors Institutionen Checken für Cremme Füllungen haben
@tanthiennguyen9308Realy I like this factory
@ioanbota9397I‘m confused because you keep saying engineers and mean mechanics. I don’t think the words can be used simultaneously. The work of the mechanics differs from the work of the engineers.
@vanko98Tanks for your job
@momocamara3479Godeblessyou
@momocamara3479I love doing factory work. It's demanding and hard work. This factory would be no exception.
I do believe that I would like to work here.
Fascinating to see. Welt documentaries are amazing to watch, but the more recent ones have better voice overs/ and voice production. The voices and voice over person not great on this one. :(
@TheJoStephanSo cool
@RealLifeCarlitosFrThat paint job in retrospect...maybe not the best.
@weijingburr2392Only real problem I have with the video...
Most of these things... even without the tech aspect is part of Manufacturing. But the person being interviewed.. is saying too much and at the same time not saying enough.
Speak german krauts...
@marvincarlsen2701Former Boeing Everett... where biggest aircraft in the world are built in biggest building in the world by best workforce in the world. Airbus is also biggest and best at what they do too. Much respect. Both companies have ceased production of their own largest aircraft. B747 and A380 are being replaced by slightly smaller, and more fuel efficient planes.
Boeing is a leader in Lean Manufacturing. Just In Time (JIT) inventory arrival, continuous quality improvements, and many other techniques have been in place at Boeing for many years. 20 years ago, I was a Lean Manufacturing subject matter expert. We helped plants around the country including both commercial and military improve quality, reduce defects, shorten build times, and control costs.
I have been at the beginning process of every aircraft when they start as an expensive pile of parts and up to final certifications. That includes 737, 747, 757, 767, and 777. I left before 787 was finalized. On military side it was F-15 Fighting Eagle and F/A -18 Super Hornet.
I enjoy watching documentaries like this. It helps me stay current in aircraft manufacturing technologies regardless if Boeing or Airbus. Both companies play important roles in commercial and military aircraft production.
That’s where my plane was built

Distinct lack of safety glasses in this video. They don't believe in them over in Europe?
@joshdragonsfield3799I understand a time table but pushing people to hard to finish something that can "fall out of the air" might not be the best idea.
@leegibson5469a lot of background noise
@beegee3280Tr si neden yok
@06ynI work for airbus, building the wings. Amazing to watch it all being out together
@ethangriffiths251Was there a few weeks ago on the airbus factory tour. 2,5 hrs the tour will take.
@WINGSANDRAILSAirbuss had to make 250 to break even. They sold 256! Due to Covid 75% are on hard deck with their engines sealed or scrapped. They no longer fitting today’s paradigm.
@marcusrussell8660Mostly white German people doing incredibly high tech work
