Part of SAFRAN company located in Gloucester UK formerly known as Dowty, Dowty Rotol and Previously Gloster AirCraft Company. ( GAC ) and others ... about ten of my now long departed older relatives worked for Dowty/GAC/Rotol making Under carriages, (Now landing gear ) Propellers and Jet Turbine Fuel systems. Some built Hawker Hurricanes during WW2, In the early 1950s some of my then retired relatives lived in a house on the actual GAC aerodrome at Brockworth in Gloucestershire. Visits there for myself and little brother were a special treat. Even meant passing through the Security Gates. A new experience. That house now long gone next to the Assembly hangers where Gloster Meteors and Javelins were made..Two little boys explored the Aerodrome. A corrugated sheet metal Barn in a remote far corner of the AirField we explored through one of the dislodged metal panels enabled two small boys to access inside. There before us a pristine Gloster Gladiator Biplane. A subsequent visit saw that Gladiator Biplane working an aerobatic routine directly over our heads for fully ten minutes before making off to an AirShow, Our very own special AirShow.
I was reminded of all this recently when driving through what was the former GAC Aerodrome now with a huge Ibndustriak Unit complex and also some high density modern housing. Many streets and roads named with an AirCraft link like "Hurricane Way" . That day, I passed the new DOWTY Factory and parked nearby was an articukated truck ( a semi ) with huge propellers on the trailer. Looked like those from C130 / Hercules. No doubt being delivered to Dowty for refurbishment. The truck had Italian registration plates. I stopped and took a few images of a now rare sight so familiar to me as a very small boy back in the day..
Gloucestershire UK has a very long Aviation history. Going back eighty-five years in the case of SAFRAN's roots. Good that some still remains in the area.
Always interested in AirCraft, particularly WW2 WarBirds. Few years ago, heard the unmistakable sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin approaching fast .. soon over head in a far corner of the county, with small population. Looking up, I saw a plane go through a complicated aerobatic routine directly overhead. Surprisingly, it was not the expected Spitfire or Hurricane which are not a rare sight or sound, but something else. It came low, about a thousand feet and then I could see what it was. A North American P51 Mustang. Again my own private AirShow. I was not the only one to watch that show. Sometime later, on a FaceBook group, someone else has seen that little AirShow in a remote part of the county. Probably remote for safety reasons. Wisely.
Never tire of aircraft observation. . Been some B52 activity in the county recently. Wonder what they are up to...
Wow. It's one thing to know how to fly a sophisticated aircraft and another to know how to repair one. Hats off these men and women!
Men* i rarely see any women there doing the dirty job.
If I remember correctly, there was an Airbus landing gear strut on display in the Prada museum in Spain when I visited about 15 years ago. It truly was "a piece of art"
Regards from South Africa
When is South Africa creating such amaizing stuff
@@platinumphonesandcomputers What?
@@teeess9551 You from SA?
I never thought about landing gear in this manner, that it requires a separate company to take care of them and to make them in the first place. But it is logical when you think about the forces during take off and landing
Onde A tecnologia é a confiabilidade na fabricação de trem de pouso da Empresa Airbus, decolao juntos. Parabéns 🥇 🇧🇷👍
How easy it is to sit in any plane2travel while enjoying all the comforts offered by the respective airlines.Never knew there are efforts of so many people in manufacturing a plane!Suman
Pesawat yang luar biasa 👍👍👍
មេីលហេីយគិតច្រេីនណាស់
Brilliant and very informative, thanks.
You're doing a pretty good job. Thanks for sharing.!
Mind-blowing engineering. 👏🏽😍
We have to give greeting salute to these men and women who are doing unbelievable job repairing jet engines and doing other sophisticated tasks the which guarantee safety and good performance of the planes,those busy,handy ingenious people can't be ignored or marginalized😎
It is great to know that we can re-certify aircraft parts to 100% and save millions and millions and millions of dollars. keep up the excellent work and Many Thanks
We ?
They just pass the costs on to the customer. Obviously.
I've flown both Airbus and Boeing products for years. Airbus is a very fine company and I've always found their aircraft to be quite reliable. And, no, I'm not an Airbus employee.
What an amazingly complex engineering feat...
Is not, there's probably more you don't know about what you see.
I mean more secrets that makes all of that possible🤫
Lindo demais esse vídeo de avião parabéns pelas imagens 👏
Happy to see you guys going outside the US, it's about time.
America is still making Airbus components. Have a nice week.
@@QuantumMechanic_88 Yeah, but so is Europe and the rest of the world for Boeing. What is your point? How far ahead Murica is in making the best stuff, while it's all over the world assembled and manufactured by some cheap slave labour, no matter the country?😂
@@69strokefasterthanyourmum All I can say is America has the highest paid aerospace engineers, machinists, inspectors in the world . Many assemblers from "murica" are assembling aircraft around the globe . No slave labor.
Most if not all of the employees at that DEPOT facility are former military members. These men and women take the full maintenance, inspection and repair of those landing gears very seriously. Not the stereotypes of a "government employee"...lol
I thought this thing only happen in PAKISTAN, here all the hard working, expensive, tough, complex jobs are done by either on duty millitary officials and or retired ones, the gvt. Officers (almost 98%) only take salleries.
@@pakarmyisizindabad6206 Also happened in BD bro😭😭 I'm a military fighter jet overhauling tech. This is deep news.
Excellent documentary.
At the Dulles Air & Space Museum, they have an A380 main gear on display! It's incredible to see up close!!
Nope. Been there multiple times. It's from an A330. Quick google search confirms it.
The engineers in Airbus and Boing did miracelous job.
Exelente, dsd San Luis, Argentina. 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Thanks for your view our lives are very important to science and technology today
Good video and very informative. If I am not mistaken, Safran brought over Messier Bugatti Dowty and changed the name to Safran Systems (Messier Bugatti Dowty itself was earlier called Messier Hispano Bugatti which specialised in making landing gears).
Bem legal. Parabéns
Really what a amazing science and technology, i am very amazed to saw theese parts of aeroplane how they created and very hi class dignity and reall work and love with this....into early stage how created aeroplane, weldone WHRITE BROTHERS I m very amazed when i see such as aeroplane films really I am very amazed❤️🙂
I made the cut! Lol tearing down a B-52 main gear back when I worked on landing gear.
woah a Sophisticated aircraft. :o
Brilliant Footage
Spectacular!
Great video....thanks 👍 👌
Marvelous perfection
I would say Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems is the world leader in aircraft braking technology.
use to work at HILL. surprised to see it on this vid
IN BRESIL
TECNOLOGIA DE PRIMEIRO MUNDO !!!
pretty cool that the people that make the TBM help Airbus. win win
and much more in fact. the TBM is not even the main part of Daher's actvities in Aerospace (a350 MLGD, a320 and A330 belly fairing, thermoplastic clips for the A350, several WP for Gulfstream, fuselage for Dassault, Airbus helicopter, motor parts for Safran, PWC... And the Kodiak aircrafts. Even more lately with the acquisition of the former Triumph plant in Stuart. A lot of 3PL activities for all major OEMs. And yes i'm an an engineer who proudly proudly works for Daher :)
Good to see behind the scenes. Just subscribed 🇬🇧
Awesome video Man
Wow, landing gear....
very good job thanks
Yeah, another great show. Excellent video too.!
Marvelous.
FAN OF FANTASTIC ❤
From Laos 🇱🇦
Like🤓 wondering 😔 🤔 now I know.😏🙋🏼♀️🚴🏼♀️thank you
Si je ne trompe pas, l’usine est dans les Pyrénées près d’Oloron Sainte Marie.
I am retired USAF and I say Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems is the best braking system
Good stuff!
Think about the landing what it has to do. I am 6''. This no joke bringing this kinda big mass to
Seems to be one of the toughest job and highly paid either
Smooth...💕💕💕💕
Fantastic
Same one that made the defective nose gears on the 320 series.
Way cool. Good one.
GOOD.
I am retired USAF and we called them sound suppressors.
I like the Microsoft Flightsimulator like music at the beginning of the video
Very nice
There's many problems with aircraft and components especially on ships,there not using the right paints,or metals fused with material that don't have enough certain chemicals to make there mass not expand and retract in different wheather conditions and different rubbers added to paint....
Good for education
built different
Just a fancy ad and marketing campaign....
Quiero trabajar ahi de capatas👍
💞🌹🌹💞
💞Very Good 💞
Great video, but it needs to be re-titled.
High quality aircraft and video! Thanks.
I wish we could see what SpaceX does to their fleet of boosters
Well we can for their new ITS boosters, though they aren't refurbishing those yet.
China will copy after that vid xpace x
Please create English subtitles. Thanks.
A flight cycle includes take-off and landing, yes?
Technically one flight cycle is defined as time in between which it is pressurised and de-pressurised.
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Amazing 👍👍
seoul, south korea.
I flucking love it
Where was the manufacturing? This was a bunch if clips thrown together and said it was maintained. Very dull to watch.
Espero y este video lo lleguen a ver todas la aerolínea mexicanas no creo q aganvtodo esto
Ausgezeichnet 👍👍👍💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
that landing gear is a classic example of overengineering
Waad mahdsantii waad
4:27 "Air forces only landing gear overhaul facility" Sounds like something they might not want belligerent nations knowing.
What I thought , too. Why would you advertise that.
Well, it would make an attractive military target but by the time a belligerent nation is able to make a successful strike on target, everything else - defense wise - must have gone to shit.
I love how the video begins with 'Airbus is well known throughout Europe for it's quality products'. I would think the word 'Europe' could be replaced with the words 'the world'. JMHO
This is a shotgun approach to a documentary video. It would be nice for the viewer to follow one part or assembly from design to completion. That's not presented. What we see is all over the map, randomly.
Goood
Safron damn
This is Life ' homo sapiens.
Embraer the best
France Factory ✨
Great video. Stayed on topic!
This sounds like a commercial.
👍👍
Is it larger than Boeing 777-9?
What has a fighter jet engine overhaul got to do with Airbus landing gear?
You got to be American stating precession machinery “down to the millimeter”. Haha, epic! (US has an inch to go keeping up internationally.)
Interesting though, but too superficially.
Down to the millilitre? Hopefully at least a hundred times better.
you have to admit that US is the powerhouse and modern technology hub: if even you dislikes their foreign policy. at least their has been solving human being tedious and enigmatic tasks.
3:27 The landing gear wasn't important on old airplanes? 🤔
What happen If you stand under the wheel?
Airbus is great but it needs another 60 years to be where Boing is
So much for Op sec! Just brag it up!
maybe surprised this isn’t an insider video
7:45 *3,000 flight cycles.. how many times a year is that? (none?)
