Seeing all those beefy I-beam stringers (?) really helps me to understand how the top and bottom surfaces can handle the incredible compression and tension forces they do (worry so much about the wings being strong enough during airliner flights that I'm now a little obsessed with wings).
The manufacturers do extensive loads testing on the wings to make sure they don't break. For anyone not involved in aircraft developement, you would be surprised at the amount of testing that is done on aircraft before they ever go into production. Manufacturers spend billions to test aircraft .
I've used a Halo quite extensively at Broughton, but only on Aluminium alloys. The video mentions that the Halo could be used in the marine & automotive industries. How well does the magnetic sensor work through other materials, particularly ferrous metals?
I'm surprised that with modern precision computer controlled manufacturing techniques, that the skin panels aren't pre-punched via a CNC punch press or CNC drilling, and that the mating structural elements aren't also similarly pre-drilled when they are fabricated, leading to the elimination of hand drilling holes in the wing structures during assembly. With CNC precision manufacturing, I'd expect that the pre-drilled parts could simply be assembled with all holes already in the exact positions required.
You would think so, yeah. I'm sure some of it is. But in some cases there's enough tolerance stack and on some parts if they are getting bent or twisted at all (like wing skin sheets) the exact warp and stretch can vary slightly from part to part. May be enough that it isn't practical to do every hole until everything is actually aligned in the fixture. I know on thinner sheet metal wings, it can be very difficult to convert where the holes should be in 3D down to a flat 2D piece of sheet metal that is going to be bent to fit to an airfoil shape. On thin sheet the angle you drill at is a little less important but if you have thick skins and thick ribs, more of a challenge.
I think I am missing something here. Why don’t they drill the holes before constructing the whole wing? Why do they drill by hand with no guide to make sure it’s drilling perfectly perpendicular ? This seems to me a problem that doesn’t need to be optimized in the first place.
No , cz make prehole before assembly is more hard to work with, due to precise issue, cz sometime, we deal with mis aligment hole between 2 part, that why we assembly first then riveting, cz more easier..
Pre-drilling doesn't take into account the position of the matching holes in the other structure's. e.g... setting the pre-drilled metal over the other existing holes on the mating piece may not line up because of various precision variants.
Match drilling is the only way known to man that can produce accurate alignment. Usually they use fixtures to precisely locate a few reference holes and then match drill/fasten the rest.
It may look time consuming and expensive. But I'm sure it saves more time rather than replacing misdrilled parts and the cost of replacing them as well. As a sheet metal specialist time is nothing you want to keep track of. Just do the job deliberately and slowly. Drilled right the first time every time.
What about the thousand gallons of fuel that those wing carries, I dint see any tanks, pumps, lines, returns lines, vents lines, just a well constructed efficient wing.... Nice but it's so obvious that the biggest lie is the one in plane site. Those wings are constructed to be efficient, to make and hold the plane in the air, but to hold fuel. We are been decieve about the real truth about how and what type of fuel the planes are using.... It's called compress air turbines, that the real truth..... Hace a nice day and God bless you all.
Have you ever been inside an aircraft wing? I doubt it. I have been inside the wing of numerous aircraft. They ALL have wire, fuel pumps, fuel xfer lines, fuel vent lines, fuel capacitive probes, densitometers etc......

If you didn't mind Denny Laine, they were great in their day.

should work fine with ferous metals
i use a similar thing for drilling holes through walls,,,,
What happens to all the shavings?
How do gyroscope work on a ball? Are is it just a flat surface?
they use suction cups
Why not ask a flat-earther?
Is this an advertisement for Halo’s products?
It’s a amazing tool it saves a lot of time and money I use this tool everyday
Seems to me like it would take ages to cover the entire wing having to move the rig for every single hole
That's a smart assistance system!
come out the plane/wing an always straighten backdrilled holes before full sizing 😭
Totally amazing. I think I took up the wrong profession.
And what is that?
I’m an aircraft mechanic and it’s awesome...for the first 5 years. Lol
This is more on the halo sensor. How about more on the actual wing construction itself
How are the targets removed?

Title should be changed to hole accuracy in wing construction

Drill, Ream, Countersink
I know there has to be a good reason why they can't just drill from the other side.
It's cozier to do it from the inside of the wing
Obviously these must be a particularly hardened aluminium to carry the incredible weight of the engines?
Most likely 7075 aluminum alloy.
Couldn't the skin and the structure be pre-drilled and then lined up?
Mac Delaney due to expansions and other various factors i think

yes on a little kit do it your self plane.

I cant imagine how this wing hold plane+engine+fuel+turbulence weight
Where are the fuel tanks?
You're looking at them. The aluminum is sealed off with black liquid rubber, and bang, you have a fuel tank!
in some walt disney production.
A very useful vedio indeed
For elementary contruction wings for airbus a380 i think maked PT DI bandung indonesia maybe?
That looks convenient
it is not accessible difficult to use
pq je m’en bat les steaks
Boeing 787 has Carbon Fiber Wing which are much lighter and way stronger.
Kevin Taylor probablly you did not understand that halo tool is recommended only for alu aloy.
@@dimitriskaligeris5506 we use it on carbon also.....
I’m so lost
That's ok! If you haven't drilled wings at Boeing or Airbus you don't have any reason to understand what they are saying! :)
I'm lost too. Why not just drill from the target side?

workers musts uses clothes codes while working at the plane company...
never use home sloppy clothes at working

It's almost like they're building an airliner or something
Actual mechanics can drill straight holes without this bullshit lmao
@@al69420 yes but can a mechanic drill 50 of them every hour?
Very cool👍
NO code 板塊 NO code
who can know what name's machine is ? please
It's called HALOSENSOR system which is owned by ZB3 Technologies Ltd
Shit, it's a decade old add.
Neat work
wow
Yes # 1
