World's Most Advanced Supercars: Birth of the Automobile: • World's Most Advanced ...
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.

Most people today don't know what units like feet, meters, millimeters are. Stadiums are used because its easier for the average stupid person to understand
Football fields*
This channel is pure heaven for documentary lovers!
You 're damn right.
Definitely enjoying these documentaries!
@Derek Charette couldn't agree more! I love watching documentaries and could find some on KZhead but their resolution was not enough to be played on a television,but this channel provides documentaries in full HD..I'm more than happy to find this channel
True, I literally watched most of there documentaries
Yeah like me!
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.
Right?! None of that 99.999% efficiency and accuracy. Aviation goes after that .001% and thanks goes to all dedicated professionals . 🙏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤0⁰
I think it’s impressive how much effort they put into these planes , the safety of everyone onboards depends on their quality and skill to make the plane as safe as possible, that they really think about the responsibility when they assemble the plane l huge respect for these guys 😊
@@Paralyzer indeed, it is responsible task and these professionals do know this. Huge respect 🙏
Complex...you're damn right there!
As a citizen of Toulouse, Thanks for your incredibe documentary on aircraft manufacturing. We are very proud of our high engineering here.
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.
This is an aviation geek's favourite documentary!
Amazing documentary Airbus a350 favourite
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.
Or in this case, a plastic tube (carbon reinforced)
G.G. Reilly shut up
G.G. Reilly apart from you wouldnt...
Assembly of 2 million parts, what an engineering marvel ! Hats Off
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.
Uh, they didn't show the disgruntled ones who were bypassed for promotion. Those are the guys that will leave a monkey wrench in the engine on purpose!
It's France bro, they don't work harder than necessary....
@@wapiti3750
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.
Hell yeah the wings and the rest of the aircraft are so sleek I love the aircraft can’t wait to fly on it some point soon.
Yes, technical marvel wings but on B-787 Dreamliner, probably you have no clue what are you talking about.
That would go to the A340 and 747!
@@bogdan90572 things........ 1) Foxtrot Oscar, knobhead. 2) The wings on the 787 are indeed absolutely exquisite, especially under load after take off, but I actually prefer the A-350. Let me guess.........🤔........ you're a septic, yes?
@@bogdan9057You're wrong there, young man, I've had a passion for aircraft for almost 50 years, more than you've been alive, so I know a fair old bit, thank you. The wings on the 787 are pretty exquisite, especially under load after take off, but I prefer the A-350 personally.
I am unable to say. Just how exciting this is to nit just see but know. I just love the human brain. People look at destruction more. Instead of have pure joy in seeing what is clearly possible in the race of man. I hope this will inspire. It is beautiful. I am grateful to see this.
i completely agree. godspeed.
This way of life is not sustainable. The climate change models and climate change science is very alarming, or should be.
al ntr planes amount to only 2% of the worlds greenhouse gas emissions animal agriculture causes 18-51% of the emissions so even if we stop flying things will barely change. Don’t believe me? Search up cowspiracy and watch the documentary. Yes it’s spelled cowspiracy.
Agree. Watching aicraft plants and shipyards reminds me how intelligent humans are.
The narrator is very dramatic, exactly how he should be. Loving this
Classic example of how narratives can mislead people
Yeah, because manufacturing an airplane is very dramatic stuff and needs to be over exaggerated.
he's a yank, what do you expect.
Boeing should watch this and take notes
This channel is 100% legend🤘🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Airbus: the Queen of the Skies. We Love You, Unconditionally. Period.
I thought the 747 claims that title.
: for the time being, B is almost dead.
@@lardosian it does but airbus is way better that Boeing
@@doggieplays5371 in your opinion mate
This channel is solid gold!! Great documentary!
Indeed it is, however, I would like a documentary in more details!
@@frankd9015 American documentaries are always like these. Not too detailed but well made. European details and American makers would be great combo.
Yeah I really enjoyed this video. I just subscribed now. The only thing is I m french and it s frustrating when the english translation covers the workers voices.😉 Great documentary anyway

Amazing Documentry....No Words to say 😍😍 ✈✈✈✈
Hats off to the engineers .. 🙏🙏
Fascinating. Not only it’s the state of the art of an aircraft but it is also the safest. Bravo A350!
Airbus usually copies trend. Everything mentioned here has been done by the Boeing in 1970s and 1980s in the 777 project. 777 was the real revolutionary aircraft in this class. Having missed the bus in 747 revolution, and seeing enormous success of twin engine ultra long range wide bodied, carbon composite 777, airbus finally woke up and came up with an alternative by 2000s to compete with 777. A350 is a result of that. Considering the technology available in 2020, this is the best airbus could do to catch up. Europeans for long depended on American middle class consumer for their prosperity and doesn't know how to innovate. From automobiles to aircrafts, story is the same. Result of socialism creeping through the system
@@chi-8289 Actually you should at least try and get the facts right... The Boeing 777 is a conventional aliminium aircraft (less than 10% of its structural weight was composite materials)
Duy Le Nguyen and the A350 is a copy of the 787 so what? The 787 has tinting windows, bleedless engines and the list goes on. The A350 is quite conventional in design.
@@superskullmaster at least airbus's work though 😂😂 Innovative this innovative that and then ends up in the ground with dead bodies everywhere, boeings a shitty morals company
Gohan With Down Syndrome Airbus is getting tinted windows and u only provided two valid reasons. Can’t think of any more?
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!!!!
It’s a beautiful, comfortable engineering marvel
One of the best A350 documentary I've ever seen before !!!
The complexity of this machine is mind-boggling.
So is the Boeing 777X and the dreamliner.
andresa1963 Nobody cares.
andresa1963 both the 787 and 777x suck so bad, never flying those things
andresa1963 Not even close buddy. This thing is the pinnacle of aircraft engineering at the moment, that’s why the Europeans are usually always at the top in terms of engineering and design, they take time and pride in their products. Boeing didn’t, they literally made a plane that can do an automated nosedive without pilot input. Same with European cars, they are made with extreme detail and American cheap plastic cars are not, most rich people buy Audi, Ferrari, Mercedes, VW, Rolls-Royce, and it’s a smart choice. Airlines do the same, smart decision making often leads them to buy Airbus aircraft because of how fuel efficient and engineered they are. And the Boeing 777X doesn’t even exist yet, I love how Americans just think that their products are so amazing and view that foreign products as bad.
YMML Aviation It’s the same with everything. The Europeans make everything to a higher standard and degree of quality. Cars and planes included....Just try some Italian coffee or some French or Italian fashion (Chanel, Versace, Gucci, etc.). Even wine and cheese. There is no higher standard than Europe, which is why something to be made in Europe is a huge selling point for many people. It boasts high quality.
28:15 I love the sound brand new rubber tyres make on clean waxed concrete floor :D
നിർമാണ കല അപാരം. Hats off engineers & employees
the airbus a350 the most advanced commercial aircraft in the world its construction nothing short of a masterpiece on the grand scale and down to the smallest detail the goal minimal fuel consumption maximum range the product of precision workmanship expertise and quite simply PRIDE
I absolutely love these mega manufacturing documentaries! Thanks a lot, guys!
Proud to be an aircraft engineer
This documentary was beyond fantastic! The sort of efficiency and precision that goes into building these aircrafts is simply amazing. Great video!
That's very Impressive. It is not just a first class product. The documentary really shows how each detail counts. It's a "Haute Couture" work.
Nicely said.
I love this documentary it is like building a gigantic Meccano puzzle!! Well done, Airbus!! 😍😍
Have loved the sturdy and spacious twin aisled A350 and have enjoyed it on a few long haul flights. Has a relatively quite cabin. Building an airplane is a huge collective responsibility..I love the way Airbus people go about it. Revealing behind the scenes documentary.
What surprised me was that it just wasn't really better than the A380. The A380 has a far quieter cabin and is smoother in flight.
@@SwiftHDX True. That's coz it's a huge aircraft with huge wings with engines well spaced out..
@@chandrashekarr9390 Absolutely, it's an incredible beast.
Airbus makes beautiful aircrafts.
This video is one of the most amazing documentaries I watched this year.
The wife and I flew to the Philippines and back on fairly new Airbus A350's, we were fortunate enough to fly business class. Impressive aircraft, plenty of takeoff power, quite cabin, comfortable flight, nice amenities, superb.
Barely 100years ago, aircraft were contraptions of sticks and cloth held together by some cables and screws. And look where we are now. Stunning.
Voila! My favorite plane A350. Long live
Salute to this super engineering marvel..
Yea but I wanna see how the parts are made. Like the forging of the fuselage, the creation of the landing gear, they always show the components being put together but I would like to see the creation of the main components
So grateful for channels like this 🙏🏼 Never creases to quench my curiosity and thirst for knowledge
Amazing and incredible things like this one are the human made creations, Great
Only this extreme level of dedication is the surety of passengers safety
This airplane is the most advance aircraft by far ! Great documentary
@Derya Baygan-Robinett I can see that you are a big fan of Boeing.. the 797 and 777x are still not yet commercialized...
@Derya Baygan-Robinett The 797 does not exist yet. The 777-9 hasn't flown, the 747-8 is a 50 year old design with new wings and the 787 got grounded for months because of its great design. Now the 737max pancaked itself twice so will gloss over that, won't we? Just accept it, Airbus rules the skies for the moment.
@Derya Baygan-Robinett You are a joke. You really think the revamped 747 is beter than the A350. Also, put on paper all you want. On paper the 777 wouldn't split its fuselage at 149%. On paper the 737max was safe.
@Derya Baygan-Robinett Actually you can't deal with anything. Never and nowhere is the 747-8 beter than the A350. The rest of it is bullshit. The 777 doesn't fly so you can't claim it's beter, the 797 is just a wet dream by Boeing executives who wake up with the sad reality that the last 2 models to be launched got grounded worldwide. The name Boeing is ruined for now.
@@kennethcoenen7643 And I thought football rivalries were brutal!
绝对厉害！明显感觉到各个方面的差距! Airbus takes the lead!
Thank you Airbus.
Very beautiful aircraft.
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!
Great comment. I was just reading up in the Airbus 380. How the Pandemic grounded a lot of them, orders were cancelled but they’re making a comeback. Hey and thanks for stopping by and sharing. Love it.
Boeing were/are their own worst enemy. Don't get me wrong they have made some great airliners such as the 747 Jumbo Jet, 777, 767 and of course the 787 Dreamliner. There are still quite a lot of 737s flying safely around the world at the moment but during the investigation into Boeing, one of their former employees did the honourable thing and exposed the Boeing hierarchy for putting profit before safety. So, now as I am sure you will understand only too well, they have ruined the trust that so many customers had in them. Loyal customers have already started moving to Airbus. KLM, Qantas and now Air Canada. I gather that this was a mistake that McDonnell Douglas made many years ago.
@@neilburns8869 Well let's hope that Boeing fixes this. There's already evidence that they're taking safety seriously now. They absolutely have to... the airline industry doesn't survive if planes aren't safe to fly. Both on the manufacturing and airline side. We all want Boeing to succeed... I promise you that if Boeing goes out of business. Airbus would stop being the Airbus of today. Boeing has made incredible planes (like the ones you've mentioned) and we want them to continue doing that. The 737 NG has never suffered a fatality due to a design flaw. 7,000 in the air... that's really impressive. I do think that the Max is just as safe now. It will have to prove itself through many years of safe flights.
Easy to make a 350 after you've seen a 787. If Boeing built a flop like airbus 380 they would be out of business. Problem is composites and I think both companies will regret putting so much faith in them. As far as Boeing quality, they should probably stop worrying so much about DEI and focus on not killing people.
@@ejkk9513so far, not so good 😢
Alright im sold. My next commercial airliner is definitely gonna be an A350. 👍🏼
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's a beauty,well done 👏 AIRBUS.
...ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AIRPLANES- THE WRIGHT BROTHERS WOULD BE ASTOUNDED!!!
This has to be one of the best channels on KZhead! I live in Alabama and have toured our Airbus A320 Manufacturing Facility in Mobile and it's just truly amazing!
Ok buddy. I work in Economic Development in the state of Alabama. Airbus is vital to our economy here in the south. It’s an amazing place, you should come see it for yourself!
@Sam Lutfi - Get a life..!
Jeffrey Hooie Great, I was in Toulouse last summer, still hard to understand what humans can make to assemble this awesome machines
I worked at UTC AEROSPACE, A350 program in California and was moved overseas :(, good old days .
This is another marvelous engeeniuty of mankind. I flew A350 once what a comfortable and silent airplane it is! However the star of the show is that Green, Yellow and Red livery plane @31:43. Excellent documentary!
Thank you!
Nothing better than a good documentary before bed
this is nothing short of magical and astounding. What we build these days is hard to comprehend.
Fantastic documentary about what goes into the physical assembly of this plane. One little story from me... I used to work at a company which developed embedded engine control systems. The company was spun off of Safran and the final customer was Airbus. Once, the CEO asked us why we had such little opinion of and took so little pride in the work we were doing. He said that back in assembly, every worker takes pride in every single screw and knows every serial number of every washer by heart, so why wouldn't we feel pride in developing software that keeps those planes up in the air and is the biggest factor in the success or demise of an aircraft. Well there you go, noone talks about software. We never got to see an engine running our software live. When documentaries like this are made, noone cares about the millions of man-hours that go into invisible things. Yet everyone is quick to blame software :D The answer is: improve engagement with the final product. Show those engineers why they spend their life engineering software for 20 year old microcontrollers. Let them see the thing take off, then they will take pride in their work and your retention goes up as well
From an Aerospace engineering student to you Sir, an experienced professional: I truly understand why you might be frustrated regarding the lack of software focused documentary. But the problem is, not too many people will stay interested to watch the full documentary about what goes on behind a microcontroller or a full embedded system. They are indeed immensely important, I mean c'mon, even the assembly line workers are using software to put the aircraft fuselage parts in place and I had the Airbus final assembly line (FAL) visit last week, and saw the fuselage parts are also aligned using laser sensing (which is again, software!). My point is even though it's very important, it would/might not be a good documentary for general people (I may be wrong). Also, human beings are always fascinated with BIGGER things, specially aircraft. So I guess that's why you'd actually find at least a dozen documentaries about Airbus aircraft only or possibly even more. Also, because of the MCAS system indeed was faulty which is why B737 MAXs crashed, people blamed the software directly. Specially, media hyped it over. But as engineers, we understand it's an issue of top-down management, not just software. I hope you would not take any offence, I just wanted to share my thoughts on it. But I really would be interested to see a documentary about all the hard work going behind many different software; from low level language/assembly language to the assembly of the controller board :)
It's funny that it was the CEO said that because the washers are not serialized parts.
Built by a company with its eye on safety and performance, not cutting corners to save money!
What an amazing job respect 🎉🎉🎉
NO ROOM for error safety of millions people your hands...great job👏🏼👏🏼
Team Airbus ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent documentary. Thanks a lot for sharing 👍😊
These videos are just the best thing ever! Keep them airplanes comming
I'm simply in awe.
This is an impressive company, seriously awesome
Amazing... So much skill required... The amount of engineering is mind boggling. Truly amazing what mankind can do.
This is a work of art and science. But seriously great vid. Immensely complex assembly with cutting edge technology being employed in all aspects of manufacture with 53% of carbon composites . It's remarkable that a bricklayer was able to qualify to become part of the manufacturing team. The end product is awesome - a gleaming machine which is capable of transporting passengers in comfort over thousands of kilometres nonstop across oceans and continents.
May GOD bless these men and women who are working hard for all of us to travel faster, comfortable and reliable.
Whoever was running this job. You are an absolute legend.
I call this god level! Humans are very fascinating to see 🦊
Looks like a very organized and serious company.
@Brandon Underwood - Well, yes - Boeing, probably. Since they install software on the flight deck of the 737 MAX that deliberately crashes the plane and does everything it can to override the pilots’ counter-measures. If you were running an airline, would you seriously order a fleet of 737 MAX? It’s difficult to see how Boeing’s reputation can EVER recover from this.
@Brandon Underwood - God knows, I’m more than happy to blame that wanker Obama for everything under the sun, you’ll never have to persuade me of that. Unquestionably the worst president that the United States has ever had the misfortune to have for 8 years. But what about Boeing’s new space liner? I’ve just been hearing about that on the news, just now. Turns out that the timer fucked-up! All I can say is Boeing’s credibility has been blown out of the water - and Airbus must be rubbing their hands with glee right now.
Airbus? Nooooooo.............what's the matter with you?
@Brandon Underwood - I see they’ve just sacked the Chief Exec at Boeing. Any thoughts, my boy ....?
@@gregfolland8452 Obama fault for Boeing incompetence?what's next? Climate change is an Chinese hoax?,what a tool!

This documentary is so amazing. Thank God for all the amazing Engineers who made this a reality. We are amazing!
Of course
A350 mesmerises me. It's a 21 century marvel of pure technology.this is the most sophisticated and technologically advanced aircraft on earth!!👌
As a lover both of aircraft and documentaries, I love the episode and can't get enough of the channel as a whole! Great stuff.
@willowm1839 Same here! 😊😉👍🏻👏🏻🤓
The A350 is in my opinion, the best Plane ever built!
watching these guys work makes me think of the people at Boeing who can't remember to bolt the door on.
I'd love to thank Herr Marvin Entholt for the job he does of writing and actually voicing stories for many of such documentaries
I flew the A350 in December, quite a well engineered aircraft. I can't wait to compare it to the B777X
Amazing technology, wonderful manufacturing aircraft video.
Now this is real engineering
Absolutely GREAT documentary, Giant Passenger Aircraft from Both Manufactures. Absolutely mind blowing, from the Manufacture's. ' Great Flying Monsters.
It's a great documentary and all, but honestly feels more like a giant Airbus advertisement than anything else. There's no problems, everything runs perfectly, etc, where irl it wouldn't be so harmonious.
Something for us Europeans to be proud of...and Toulouse of course !
It's beyond technology and imagination where only serious and intelligent people can deal with. Sophisticated building that won't compromise even a simple defect and mistake. Big business with big responsibility towards humans life.
Fantastic video of aircraft production. Reminds me of when I worked at McDonnell Douglas. I was an aircraft structure mechanic building the MD-80’s and the MD-11 aircraft. The sense of pride and dedication is real knowing you were building one the best aircraft of that time.
Salute to all engineers and to all connected making aircrafts👏👏👏👏👏
Imagina o trabalhão que teve toda a equipe!!!! Sensacional!
