How it's made: Airplanes

[legogeek21]

@MrPrettyboyg122022

ok lol go to lowes

[wolfiemalone]

I want one!!!

[TheFreakincool]

Carbon fiber is lighter and stronger than metal. Look it up jerk. •~•

[shugbe5477]

Sorry to tell you but yeah, carbon fiber is stronger. I work for a pipewrapping company and we have done many tests on this.

[FrenchValleyAirport]

@shugbe5477 thats what he said lol

[Lillie1986]

Carbon or carbonfiber is NOT stronger than steel but it is much lighter and stiffer.

[JohnMGilbert]

Cessna used to build their planes in Columbus, GA but thanks to Bill Clinton's NAFTA. all those jobs went to Mexico. Thanks Bill. My friends are now out of work!

[EasternMerchant]

can this be done without an oven?

[94z07]

@EasternMerchant Yes. The oven is not nearly so important on the final product as the vacuum bagging.

[dragonbreathstinks]

This seems like something I would like to do as a career.

[TimAwesomeface]

How its made: How its made videos

[730ize]

wow

[MrFlightfan]

It looks like a gigant Airfix kit! lol

[That70sShow1Fan]

The DA-40 is an awesome aircraft. The flight school where I work has one and it's expensive but I personally would like to own one but I prefer things made in the USA.

[Qwbecz]

@That70sShow1Fan You say that you prefer things made i the USA but i bet nearly everything you use or have is made in China or another country that ain't USA. I know that people can have views but personally even though you probley didnt mean it the way im thinking that sounds bios towards USA saying that USA makes the best stuff.

[Dirtycat93]

@That70sShow1Fan The DA-40 is built in Austria & Canada, not the USA!!!

[That70sShow1Fan]

just watch the freakin video...

[txroye]

Cars are cheaper because of competition and quantity. They have more interior parts and more machinery is needed to stamp out panels etc, but car companies generally pump out lots of cars which brings value down. I've worked with fiberglass etc and it's cheap. If they have all the gear to make all the parts then the profit margin would be better than if they had to out source for parts. They also have to pay wages, rent, power, supplies, tax, insurance, advertising, and so on. I'm sure they ha

[alexancia5279]

I love flying Diamonds! Thats what I have 97% of my total time in. DA20's and DA40's. They are just really fun and simple aircraft to fly.

[Automuse]

The DA-40 is an excellent aircraft - I'd say it's a generation ahead of the Cessna/Pipers. Stick control, massive bubble canopy, comfortable seats, G1000 glass cockpit (in the one I flew anyway), 135kts TAS at under 40lph easily. And the wing is certainly strong enough!

[verdemanthe1]

so these things are made a lot cheaper than any other vehicle but cost twice as much,wtf

[repsollenny]

@verdemanthe1 What makes you think that carbon fibre is cheap?

[verdemanthe1]

@repsollenny i mean compared to all the stuff that goes into cars this is cheaper but they cost at least twice as much ,im saying they have a huge profit margin,DO YOU HAVe A PROBLEM WITH THAT!!!

[repsollenny]

@verdemanthe1 I actually do, the relative profit margin of airplanes is actually smaller then cars.

[verdemanthe1]

@repsollenny how do you figure,seriously

[fs10inator]

You can see this exact plane at:

airliners(.)net/photo/Diamond-­DA-40-Diamond/1136965/L/&sid=2­93813acdc087ba4b93fae46c5aafc3­8

[Dominoes282]

Hmm... I've never seen a GNS430 on a factory DA40.

[koukicrispS13]

Hmm looks simple enough..

[LOLitsJono]

Aren't Humans made of carbon?

Shocking Realization: Airplanes are made of people!

(just kidding...?)

[PelmanHD]

is that where goerge lopez works?

[TheBfwal1]

degrees = Celsius or Fahrenheit? Typical North American product - assumes we all use yank measurements.....

[masm60]

@TheBfwal1 This show is produced in Canada and they use the metric system so I'm sure it's Celsius but you're right, they should clarify that.

[hillberg100]

side note; Inspect the firewall areas near exhaust out lets-Fiberglass over heat stress - lots of rework at annual inspection time

[hillberg100]

plastic fantastic- I like sheet metal- and helicopters -See Rotormouse.mov

[WislaKrakow24]

seeing how fast these are made, i wouldnt feel safe flying one lol

[KoolJust4U]

@WislaKrakow24 it is extremely safe a matter of fact.

[phjabbawockidz]

how he's made>>>>> chuck norris

[thesteveod]

Ihh Says Fuckin AIRPLANES Fo' FUCK SAKE :@

[jasfifty]

argh..  i should have stayed at design school

[samolux]

so tired of that music...

[leviterande]

heheh this show is so wrong so wrong. yes planes can be made this way, but you can build them just anyhow!, from wood,  in you garage, without all this nonsens. Goddamn it, you could just as well build a keyboard the way that plane is built.

[guitarmandude89]

Sucks to be the guy that tests them...

[optimist4212]

Everyone that owns a car and knows how to drive it can own a plane and know how to fly it.

[baseballcatcher08]

@optimist4212 my father used to fly passenger airplanes as a hobby, he said its really not that hard.

[MgpMontville]

Would rather make one myself, then I know how its made and I am flying the thing so its done properly, not just to a dollar or time figure!

[Channypogosticks]

Mnnnnn so what i learned from this video, is all of those guys in the air whom are freelance aviators are probably in a flying case of thinness...

[Roystonc1997]

Yay, no more flight tickets for me anymore!!!

[samnelso]

I like at the beginning he says fiberglass and shows carbon fiber then says carbon fiber and shows fiberglass haha

[Sreewtyui]

I made poo poo

[JetMechMA]

They ramp up to 100 degrees for the first cure, which is the first "soak". Interesting. But how many inches on the bag during the soak? Then 175F for 18 hours...WOW, that's a long time for the second "soak" interval...and no bagging needed! Why not first soak 150F and then 250F for 90 minutes? But anyway, it doesn't get hotter than 175F anyplace on earth, so it should hold together. Wait a minute, doesn't the engine exhaust get hotter than 175? DOH! Can you spell "delamination?"

[flexairz]

@JetMechMA The composites near any exhaust is protect by extra heat protective covering and airflow through the cowling.

[JetMechMA]

@flexairz I see. I was only kidding. My friend at work likes flying the Diamond. It's more economical then the 172.

[lavid2006]

@JetMechMA I think these guys know more than you....

[cantroos]

@JetMechMA it wouldn't on a piston engine plane. I mean you can put your hand outside of your car's tailpipe and it's just warm. It's not like a jet engine exhaust.

[JetMechMA]

@cantroos There's a lot more airflow over an airplane too...except during taxi. That's where some composite damage occurs on the airliners I work on....during taxi. The engine exhaust has time to swirl around the composite panels....and linger there with not much air flow. It actually erodes the fasterner heads completely away eventually. Erosion, delamination, cracking....and sometimes complete failure where the panel rips off in flight. I've seen it all on a more or less regular basis.

[MrPrettyboyg122002]

THANKS GUYS!!! I FINALLY KNOW HOW TO MAKE ME A PLANE IAM HEADED TO LOWES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ElGuapoJoe]

That's messy!

[clubpenguin489]

I miss this show :( I never get to see it anymore why did discovery not make any more.

[awarany]

Hopefully, bin laden is not watching this video. Otherwise he be like “fck hijacking son, now we gona build our own aircraft. No more security clearance at the airport hassle”…

[penitent2401]

the final inspection takes place in flight... i would not want to be that test pilot

[myrandomspaces]

who needs a 100 degree oven just go to Phoenix...

[smittyguitarplyr]

@myrandomspaces It refers to the metric system, and he says 175 degrees. (That's 347 degrees Fahrenheit.)

[MultiFred50]

by airplane : everyone

[lol9392]

a water gun thats powerful enaugh to cut steel?? omg

[tdotmostwanted]

@lol9392 lolz i know dude i want that for my next water fight this summer lolz

[fazail00007]

i think the body ov this aircraft is more stable and strong than cubs and cessna...as those aircrafts frame is built first and than are covered with aluminium sheets but this is all in one at a tym...hoooo

[dithbmine1]

Excellent announcer.....................­.......

[cff121]

Not the Garmin 1000 glass panel avionics package they do today.

[cff121]

Nice Diamond DA-40. That episode must have been shot several years ago as they were still installing the old analog gauges in the cockpit and

[xanimexXxgurlx2]

WOW, it's amazing.

[NutsandGuts]

@AntiVaccine Niggas with onions?

[Naturepheonix]

Hay I want to ask, How much USD do these things run?

[ryaneGT]

While composite airframes are becoming more and more popular, large and small aircraft are still primarily constructed with aluminum - which is an entirely different process. Airplane construction would need its own "How it's made" series. They should talk to some kit builders too.

[NutsandGuts]

Why are they so goddamn expensive?

[Hawk6DM]

@NutsandGuts It's mostly because of product liability insurance. Because of lawyers, sue crazy idiots trying to get rich quick off someone else's misfortune, anything that has the potential for anykind of liability claim has gotten to where the insurance premiums are horrendous....In short, it's the lawyers....

[AlexxPie]

lol at the music. makes me want to dance. gonna go make one now (Y)

[hersafox6]

I feel like doing one but I'll just buy oneat best buy

[amartinjoe]

why do they call it "COCKPIT"?

Anybody?

[arbakra]

@amartinjoe

because the stewardes going in and out all the time :p

[Timx4]

Wow with just our hands? how come we r so smart

[Avrelsg]

COOL!

[JimPrower]

Hey, they use a Waterjet Machining Center. Nice. Wonder if it's OMAX, Flow, or what.

[alexcmag]

I flew on its small brother, DA-20, and it is a nice airplane, very fuel efficient and very safe.

[RockerDuk]

Aeroplanes are awesome.

[drsteverey]

Just love it how the american Discovery Channel can bable on about this stuff like they invented it. Actually it's an austrian Design, like Schwarzenegger, and built by Canadians.

[mlagoey]

@drsteverey Burt Rutan, an american invented the first carbon fiber aircraft, the Beechcraft Starship.

[drsteverey]

Well, that may be the first one you ever heard of, but actually the real first with fibre bound plastics was the swiss sailplane manufaturer Spalinger, in 1946.

[TimeToLearnStuff]

What do you have against Americans? We also have airplanes. Ever heard of Boeing? Europeans aren't the only ones who have airplanes.

[cprich22]

@TimeToLearn Who cares if Boeing was founded in America. Who cares it was desgined and built in the states the whole world uses them and if the whole world uses them they don't just belong to one country they belong to everyone! Boeing is contracted to the British defence for gods sake! This is how wars start because one person won't share somthing good with his fellow man! So don't start off with all that American vs europeian and we helpd u in the war crap. Coz everyone is bad each other!

[DorianGreyandhisMom]

@drsteverey

Dude. They're talking about it and informing people. That's like saying "America is a Nazi country because one of their (privately owned) television channels has a special on Hitler". God you're an ignorant twat.

[chestateegold]

@drsteverey

so that means we cant learn about it?

cock

[lavakava]

when i watched the video, what scared me the most was the assembly of the wing...it just looks so fragile...and if the wings/horizontal/vertical stabilizer fails, you are going down...is there any sort of assurance about that?

[Braun09tv]

@lavakava they actually do not fail. I flew such a plane many times... I can tell you it works ok and I felt more safe than in some of the metal planes....

[cprich22]

@lavakava Thats nothing. They tend to only be held in by a pin. Haha. Won't get one of those in a hurry will ya now??? No but realy they are totaly safe.

[leviterande]

carbon is not stronger than steel, maybe if you put an as heavy piece of carbon!

[FinlandApollo]

Yes it is, but it needs bit producing

[TheNo1Subscriber]

pure carbon is diamond

[cprich22]

@TheNo1Subscriber Close. But diamond is an allatrope of carbon. ie it is carbon atoms but in a diffrent structure like a pyrmid. Graphite is also an alatrope of carbon but with a diffrent layerd structior.

Pure carbon is just the element carbon.

[tyrbolo]

the f8irst line of this is a lie. The amateur was the

original flyer. After WW1 the civilians bought the

surplus planes and engines and began the golden age of civil aviation. They created the

airlines and did the research which made

military aviation possible..

[Bronte101rules]

no wonder those things crash

[slider8585]

I think I can do this.... I'm going to Home Depot.

[bikinglobster97]

lol

[72Adam27]

good luck!

[mutizen99]

hey do you know whats the job of these peoples

[vallesan]

lol

[vincevince801]

lol  you made my day!

[amartinjoe]

@slider8585 "You CAN do it....we can help!"

[marko61900]

@slider8585 Try doing 3:27 :DD

[myrandomspaces]

@slider8585 walmart too ya know

[alex054739]

@slider8585 xd

[MrDraglet5]

@slider8585 lololol that was really funny XD

[motoman1210]

@slider8585 you cant go to home depot, you have to go to NAPA ...the National Aircraft Parts Association.

[slider8585]

@motoman1210 lol, excellent.

[94civiclxgrey]

@slider8585 did ya ever get her built lol?

[dontclicktheusername]

Thanks, now I gonna go make one

[Dieselolds]

Sounds like fun.

If you do, make a youtube video.

[ciaranfinnegan2008]

How did it work out for you?

[canadianmaple09]

This was filmed at Diamond Aircraft in London, Ontario. Neat!

[warriorlover100]

THAT seems fairly simple!

[standomax]

i think thas a a 2 or a da40 both great planes

[crunkteezy]

it's a Da-40. I flew one down to KTIX

[cessnaN60128]

i'v only flown a little 10. how nice are the Da-40s?

[cessnaN60128]

sorry i'v onlt fliwn a little 150. sorry bad keyboard.

[crunkteezy]

Da-40's aren't bad at all I can say it blows the 150v out of the water. We rented one and it had all the bells and whistles. G1000, sheepskin seat covers, etc. It was not bad for a 4 hr flight. I was stuck in the back for most of the trip but got some stick time (I was with two other people).

[JSAirways]

Imagine showing this an aircraft engineer from ww2. He would go "Wtf?! No wood or metal structure for the fuselage and wings?! Just a few layers of foam and some strange textile?!" lol...

[Octavideoz]

wtf? water jet cutting metal???

[PilotJamesD]

its sand and high pressure water.

[Stormchaser2be]

Oh yeah, water can cut more than heavy duty grade saws, with the right amount on pressure water can cut through anything.

[transdrole]

A reminder of how important epoxies are to manufacturing.

[pingpongfreak888]

theyd better put a toilet up there

[123lol1234know]

the gas is in the wings

[scareface999]

want one!

:D

[scenic456]

Holy shi*, the HOW TO milking cows looked more sophisticated than this!!! One disgruntled employee & you've got problems!

[Fullsteel22]

Hello coal and diamonds are made from carbon. Diamonds are the hardest substances on earth. What are you talking about carbon fiber isn't lighter and stronger than steel. You smeagel from the lord of the rings in the face ass nigga. Go find your precious.

[LadyArwenFC]

its made os plastic and can break easily lol. but its interesting to watch

[johnnytheprick]

"carbon fibre stronger than steel"....? i dont think. if that were the case, woondnt modern building be made of it? or is "price" weighed up against "structual integrity"?

[Hellracer1]

carbon fiber is too expensive, and requires certain process to make it hard and steel doesn't need that, plus is cheaper than carbon fiber.... do a little research.

[Ceb773]

for some reason, i really like it when they say "apoxy resin" on this show.

[emforty2]

soon the chinese will be making small airplanes as cessna openly gave them all the knowledge on how to make them

the chinese made cessna skycatcher

[MetaView7]

the Chinese are already building major pieces for Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier. Nobody talks about them because the big corps don't want you to worry about it.

The big corps have also built service center and engine rebuilding centers in China. Google for it and you will see.

[expressodelujo]

Cool! thanks EVAN199

[OfficalRadioMesta]

Now i know something new :D

[sendmedem]

No blade, so it wont ever get dull, fast, dustless, acurate, and cool.

[jeetendrag10]

by "cool",it also means the material is not damaged by heat,unlike lasers

[watarball]

why dont they use blade to cut?

what is the benifit of using water

[lasttry666666]

from what i have seen on the water cutters it leaves a smother finish on the cut and can cut fast in hard materials

[watarball]

thx

i guessed

[slaphappy35]

well with water you don't have to worry about breaking blades cause if you break a blade sharp enough to cut steel thats gonna cost alot trust me my uncle works on planes and he flys them

[04mustangsvtcobra]

water doesnt heat up so you dont need lubricant(obviously)

and it doesnt create a lot or pressure like metal on metal contact does. and you can control the jet of water for certain materials so you dont have to change out the heads of the machine for different metals or synthetic materials

[Ecka0007]

How much are they?

[slaphappy35]

the planes are prolly like 15,000 ta 100,00 dollars depending on the kind of personal plane you get they usually don't go under 15,000 dollars new my uncle bought one fo about um 5,000 dollars but his is 20 years old

[Ecka0007]

Thanks you for that infomation. At least I've got an idea. Now I can't kinda like sort out my budget. I'd like to purchase one. Cheers :)

[sendmedem]

i think u've slapped urself retarded. DA40s are $350,000 base model new. the DA20 ( 2 seater version) is $180.000 new.

[kennser]

I work at Diamond Aircraft in London Ontario that makes those :-). Just wait until the D-Jet is out, the manufacturing process for those will be amazing, and just that much more impressive!

[crunkteezy]

make a video of it and upload it.

[arkinneas]

3:38 to 3:48 was awsome!!!

[Dannos8]

this is my dream im only 11 years old and i really want to be an airplane enginer but i think i cant do it it looks to hard i can never do it):

[midnitewite]

Way to be positive kid! You're definately gonna fulfill your goals with that kind of attitude.

[KELBYL]

no offense to the people of diamond that you see on this video.. . but i dont think very many of them are Engineers , aircraft manufacturing doesn't require licensed AME (Aircraft Maintenance Engineers)

I would shoot myself if i spent every day of my life cutting windows out of a DA40

but good luck to you if you mean you want to get into aeronautical engineering designing stuff...

[BMuris]

Don't get discouraged is one of the best advices I can give you hehe. When I started with computer programming codes and everything else involving computers, the codes were just like Chinese to me :) It really made no sense at all, until I took the time to understand it. Once you get the concept, start with something simple, you'll get creative with time if that is what you really want to do. Good luck to you and hope you can make your dream come true :)

[a5232106]

there's something about the music in this show, only the first few seasons, that is genuine. it's hard to explain. if i could give adjectives to this music, it would be honest, hardworking, truthful almost.

[machineman9]

'Insulates against heat, cold and noise'

Unless it is at ~-270C it isnt going to be cold... it will still have heat. Tut Tut.

[sunnysideup64]

@ 2:58, so smooth..... i love this show

[Rocky169]

A Quantum leap in aircraft design. Damage is more expensive to repair than metal, but the molded wings and body are much stronger and lighter, but more importantly are designed inch-by-inch for more aerodynamic efficiency.

Compare two 4 place 140KT aircraft, the C182 and DA-40. The DA-40, shown being made, uses less than 10 gallons per hour and the C182 over 13.5 gph. Consider that avgas is 40% +/- more than auto gas, and that the DA-40 is fun to fly, the metal Cessnas, Pipers, are obsolete.

[BlueHaloPhoenix]

No kidding,damage a composite aircraft and your looking at tons of money for repair or even a whole new plane while a metal one can be patched up or a damage component is switched out with a new one till the original is repaired and put back on or stored for profit or spare part.

[nickp1987]

Seems like it would make sense then to build a composite aircraft as modules, so if something gets damaged you can replace the damaged piece instead of having the entire airframe be lost.

[TheRooster602]

composites can be patched.

[Aleks7923]

not small money
