Building 737

[geminijets2012]

the guy at 0:51 stole my flying techniques!

[TheChiengify]

I'm studying physics to become a aircraft engineer !!

[radioguysbrother]

I just got back to oregon from cali on a 737. great craft but croomy 3 class seats. other than that awesome plane :D

[400mat]

That's awesome!!!

[tonypham2312]

AMAZING!!!

[SuperDavid249]

Super cool very interesting! :)

[TK1244]

@SuperDavid249 Thanks for liking it ;)

[sPoUky030]

imagine building that whitout all that technical support machines..:D

[TK1244]

@sPoUky030 lol, I think we would see a lot less 737s flying around

[ashegheaty]

Proudly made in USA

[iabdulsi]

@ashegheaty Proudly? Just read @00chevrolet00 comment.

[CessnaGFE]

1 airbus engineer watched this!

[GazzerHST]

Not finished yet, you forgot the kitchen where the women work!

[SantaFe19484]

Where the 737 fuselages built? Are they only models transported by rail? The airlines stopped the growth of the passenger railroad business, but they rely on the freight railroad buisness.

[Drspeedstackingguy]

lol 0:50 hes probaly having fun

[Renatodonadio]

@Drspeedstackingguy They should hire children for "vroom-vroom" tests ;-D

[thestigsirishcousin]

nice vid

[hearts76100]

IF YOU AINT BOING YOU AINT FUCKING GOING



[JonteKrok]

On the 737, why is there no doors for the landing gear bay? (Exposed landing gear)

[nikthepilot]

THOSE TEXTURES ARE SO FUCKING BEATIFULL I LOVE THEM! :P

[vroomba03]

i still dont get why on the 737 the rear wheels are exposed when retracted but not on any others.

[FSXaddict5]

@vroomba03 why cover it

[vroomba03]

@FSXaddict5 why not

[FSXaddict5]

it's cheaper

[B767rules]

@vroomba03 its to save weight

[dramdl]

where is this factory??

[MOLRobocop]

@dramdl The fuselage is manufactured by Spirit AeroSystems and shipped by rail (the first couple seconds) to Everett, WA for final assembly by Boeing.

[jjn3]

@MOLRobocop Correction, the 737 is manufactured in Renton, WA. The Everett plant is used for the manufacturing of the 747, 777, 767, and 787.

[shaggybreeks]

@jjn3 737s originally were made at plant 2 in Seattle. That video was definitely not shot on the original assembly line(s). The line in the video looks quite a bit more integrated and "linear" than what I saw, when the fabrication and assembly took place in a series of buildings. Nobody wore bunny suits then, either. 1967.

I wonder when the production moved to Renton. When 737s were first in production, Renton was building 727s and maybe still a few 707 military (KC-135) variants.

[gmendesce]

Very Nice video!!! It´s amazing line of production. We can see clearly so much differences between this 737 and one big 777. Some differente are a fuselage from 737 comming from train, and 777 are built part of part... Thanks for this video.

Gilberto,

[yoyoyoyoshua]

there are alot of differences between the 777 and the 737

[craigslikker]

I thought the same thing as I was watching.

[tryithere]

Has 737 on the nose on takeoff

[Skaterman30000]

looks like a boeing 787 dreamliner

[an147]

Looks beautiful in Dreamliner colors.

[Trianothingy]

Omg its so cool

[fx9860g]

i love this aircraft !

[thedefiantrebel]

so, how long does it take to build?

[SarkelIT]

1:39

[thedefiantrebel]

no, real time, a week?

[TK1244]

I was at Airbus Toulouse yesterday, they told me that they build 4 A380's in one month. The A320 (comparable with the 737) is produced much more. I though it was between 8 and 16 per month.

It was really fun to see the difference between the Boeing ("walking production line") and Airbus ("fixed production line") manufacturing.

[shaggybreeks]

@TK1244 The original 737 assembly line wasn't just one line. Fabrication and assembly took place in multiple hangars. It was more of a "fixed" assembly line where I worked, but not quite. Fuselages and wings were moved to various stations constantly, and there was no visible "coming together" along a line.

[shaggybreeks]

@thedefiantrebel It's not easy to answer that, because there are so many sub-systems that get produced independently, sometimes months in advance. Attaching the wings, nose and tail to the fuselage is only a small part of the entire construction process, and I'm just guessing anywhere from half a day to maybe three days. But if you want to count *everything*, say a couple of years.

[EinkOLED]

It doesn't show how they build the fuselage, obviously it is built away from the main plant.

[TK1244]

I think it was build by spirit aerospace

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@TK1244 it was built by boeing

[TK1244]

Spirit AeroSystems, Inc., based in Wichita, Kansas, is the world's largest first-tier aerostructures manufacturer. The company builds several important pieces of Boeing aircraft, including the fuselage of the 737, portions of the 787 fuselage, and the cockpit (referred to as "Section 41" by Boeing) of nearly all of its airliners.

Spirit was formed when Boeing Commercial Airplanes sold its Wichita division to investment firm Onex.

[Kimflash]

@TK1244 lol u copyed text from wikipedia

[TK1244]

@Kimflash Fastest way to find (not always reliable) information =D

[Kimflash]

@TK1244 i know i always check there =)

[00chevrolet00]

@TK1244 You forgot to mention, they fired all the old "big pay" guys and brought in thousands of younger cheaper people like me, paid jack shit, and expected millions of rivets shot every night regardless of you hand health, I know dozens that were getting "paid too much" (OLD) and it ruined many lifes of personal friends in Wichita. Fuck spirit aero same with Onex , and same to Boeing from all my laid off friends and ME, and I quit that shit hole (8 month) so does everyone else.

[pilotdrummer95]

Great vids man! Could you find one of the 747. Now that would be something!

[TK1244]

I will do my best to find one ;)

[volcom1722]

woah awesome love th 737 5/5 :]

[TK1244]

thanks :D

[Opelfreakie]

Dude, that's so cool! Where did u get it?

[TK1244]

I found it on the internet. Unfortunatelly, I don't know where :(

[windowspczone]

it's on the boeing website. (i think)

[yohan01]

Wow, what a great video.. thanks for posting.. 5 stars!

[TK1244]

Your welcome, and ThanX for the stars ;)

[homestopper]

I can't wait to work for boeing.

[cmtemarquardt]

This is a best model of Boeing´s family.

[SaMMenTt]

wauw

[flchange]

amazing

[zeroeightaviation]

Cool video!
