Inside the Factory: Photo Tour of Where Boeing 747s are Born
// Revista de prensa aeronáutica: Feed de feeds de Revistas Aeronáuticas | recopiladas por www.noticias-aero.info
The money shot: 747 line inside the Boeing factory
Back in the 1960s Boeing made a big gamble. They decided to build the world's largest airliner, the Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet. To build such a beast, they would need a large facility. After careful consideration, Boeing decided to build a large factory in Everett.
Since the first 747 rolled off the line in 1968, every other 747 has been built under the same roof. Even today, the 747-8 is built in the same factory.
In case you didn't know the aircraft type, there is a large sign on the wall.
Although Boeing offers public tours of the facility, they do not allow cameras. I was lucky enough to participate in a media event and take photos of the 747 line in the factory and I wanted to be able to share. Enjoy…
This 747-8 is looking forward to a nose job

Check out all the tails on the hangar door.

Varios cientos de estos componentes del Airbus A350 XWB son producidos en un 70% menos de tiempo y con un coste de fabricación un 80% más barato.
Peter Sander, manager Emerging Technologies and Concepts, Airbus:
"Esta es una parte muy interesante porque estamos hablando del sistema de combustible, dos tubos en uno, antes era el resultado de soldar diez partes diferentes. Así, con la impresión en 3D podemos integrar el soporte de la tubería y los dos tubos en una sola pieza e imprimirla. Así que, en este caso, hemos reducido el peso, pero lo más interesante es que hemos abaratando el proceso hasta en 30% ".
