UNKNOWN MALE:Every one of the team is devoted to this aircraft, and making sure it is the best aircraft.

UNKNOWN MALE:As this wing unfolds, you'll see how big it is. You'll see what a massive task it is to take it out. You're actually standing there, and you've got 29 tonnes in the air.

NARRATOR:'The Airbus A380 is the world's largest airliner.

NARRATOR:'The plane would even be a tight fit inside Wembley stadium. The wings are over 10m wider than a football pitchand contain nearly a million individual components.

NARRATOR:'Each set of wings begins life as a collection of raw materials.

NARRATOR:'These panels, which will form the outer layer of the wing, are made from aluminium, because it's resistant to corrosion, has a high strength to weight ratio, and is very light. The aluminium is loaded onto Europe's largest milling machine, which cuts and shapes the metal sheets.

NARRATOR:'The A380's wings can lift 560 tonnes of superjumbo to an altitude of 12,000m.

NARRATOR:'This is down to their shape, which is created when the carved panels get sucked onto a specially moulded bed, and heat treated in the largest oven in the country.

NARRATOR:'This helps to fix the aerodynamic shape into place.

NARRATOR:'These panels form the outer skin of the wing.

NARRATOR:'And in another area of the factory, the skeleton that forms the inside of the wing is also being prepared.

NARRATOR:'A production line like this needs to operate constantly, so there are always different stages of the build being worked on at the same time.

NARRATOR:'But ultimately, all the different components ill need to go into the main assembly jig, a massive construction frame, important because it allows precise alignment in production and identical outcomes each time.

NARRATOR:'First in are the rear spars, three long sections that form the spine of the wing.

NARRATOR:'These spars are fixed firmly in place to 45 locating pins and will bear thewhole weight of the wing that lies lengthways in the jig.

NARRATOR:'Over the next five days, the team loads 49 ribs that run across the wing, which add strength and flexibility.

NARRATOR:'These ribs are made from aluminium and carbon fibre composites, materials both known for their strength and lightness.

NARRATOR:'Finally, the frame of the wing is fully assembled, and the skeleton is ready to be covered with the huge aluminium panels that form its skin.

NARRATOR:'Giant automated machines drill holes in the panels, around 250,000 per wing set, before they are lifted into position.

NARRATOR:'After 25 days, the main body of the wing is complete.

NARRATOR:'It weighs nearly 30 tonnes, and is four storey's high, lying on its side.

NARRATOR:'Complex builds, like the Airbus A380 wing, rely on people working together, with each team skilled at working on a sub-assembly, which is a smaller part of the larger build, and every part of the construction relies on this meticulous attention to detail and process.'
