What Really Goes On Inside The Grounded Planes and Engineering?

  • With so many aircraft being grounded during the COVID pandemic, in this video I discover the answer to how do airlines store and re-activate airplanes? I asked Etihad Engineering about the work required to store an airplane, protect the plane from heat, humidity, sand and dust; I also inquired into the processes involved in bringing a stored plane back to service.
    Then I took a tour of the Etihad Engineering hangar, observing how the maintenance is carried out. A lot of behind-the-scenes repair and maintenance work goes on in the hangar. Finally, I visited the airline workshop; to see how they manufacture and repair seat covers, engine covers, toilet doors and bulkhead panels. A lot of work is carried out to make sure the planes are well maintained.
    I asked a few questions on the future outlook of aviation engineering and the entry requirements for a person looking to get into aviation engineering.
    Finally, I would like to thank all the hard-working ground staff and engineers during the pandemic; their work didn't slow down (it actually increased) making sure that aviation remains safe and that standards are being maintained.
    You can find out more about Etihad Engineering on www.etihadengineering.com/ and follow their latest updates on LinkedIn at bit.ly/EYEngLinkedIn

    It's so interesting to note that how innovative Sam has been getting with his content even in these uncertain times!
    Unravelling the nittie-gritties of an aircraft and a million small elements that go into a making of an aircraft, the finer aspects that we often tend to overlook while flying normally otherwise!
    Thanks for the amaze coverage in this video!
