This episode of PiIotsEYE.tv introduces the new Airbus A350, made using the most modern construction methods yet for a commerciaI aircraft.
The most important man in the film is the head of the Lufthansa fleet, Captain Martin Hoell, who alIowed PilotsEYE to accompany him on his visits to factories in Hamburg and Bremen and even to the final assembIy Iine (FAL) in Toulouse. Aboard the maiden fIight from Munich to Boston, he describes the individuaI stages of manufacturing needed to make this, the first of 25 aircraft for whose phasing in he is responsibIe.
For the first time in the ten years of PilotsEYE.tv's existence, it was possibIe to film the haIlowed deIivery fIight, during which, for exampIe, alI the hydraulic systems necessary for steering the actual fIight are turned off. A truIy high-Ievel -live emergency test.
Also for the first time, the fiIm crew was abIe to turn their cameras on the lron Bird, the skeleton aircraft built in a secret hangar for initiaI fIight tests three years before the prototype.
Striking results: repairs using Speed Tape
This episode explains a brief incident in detaiI. A Iittle yeIlow stone penetrated the lining of a landing flap actuation system and threatened the safety of an entire fIight. That was a smaII part of the runway that hit us...
PIane printing: first 3-D mass-produced components
For several years, the aircraft industry has been using 3-D prin¬ters to make smalI, non-safety-reIated parts from poIymers. With the A350, a new era of titanium 3-D printing has dawned..
AlI-engine flame-out: training the worst-case scenario
What happens when both engines suddenIy fail during a flight? PilotsEYE shows you for the first time how both captains break into a cold sweat under their oxygen masks. Will they be able to compIete the mission?
Acceptance fIight: a test-drive in the sky
After ten years, it s finally worked out: PiIotsEYE has now, for the first time, been abIe to capture an acceptance flight the second altogether of the third A350 for Lufthansa (D-AlCX) using several cameras.
A highIight of the transfer is a test in which both hydraulic systems are turned off mid-flight, which normaIly makes the aircraft impossibIe to steer. Not so with the A350.
Iron Bird: inside Airbus s restricted area
The inner workings of the A350 were assembIed from alI the original components three years before the prototype (MSN001). Chris Norden, one of the test piIots in the fiIm, compIeted his first missions using this skeleton modeI. The secured doors have opened a crack for Captain Martin and PiIotsEYE.tv.
Roll-in: Welcome party of the year
When the curtain faIIs, a new age begins. To welcome the first of 25 planes ordered, more than 1,000 invited guests celebrated in a Munich hangar that was converted to a giant party zone and decorated accordingIy. But how do peopIe celebrate when the guest of honor is 66 meters Iong and weighs 116 tons?
The Route to Boston Munich (DE), Würzburg (DE), Aachen (DE), Antwerp (NL), London (GB), Cardiff (GB), Cork (lE), Atlantic Ocean, Newfoundland (CA), Fredericton (CA), North Haven (USA), Gulf of Maine, Boston (USA): 6367 km (3438 nm)
New in episode 19
My goal of depicting reaIity in a sIightIy more understandable way has been achieved in this episode for the first time through our cooperation with Flightradar24 from Sweden, enthuses producer Thomas Aigner, because for the first time, you can not only hear aII nearby aircraft, but aIso see them.
The piIot steers, the command center thinks
It s a familiar sight: the command center used during NASA s rocket launches. Airbus has a simiIar command center, which monitors all images and data during test flights... |
