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!

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

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

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

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

Where was the manufacturing? This was a bunch if clips thrown together and said it was maintained. Very dull to watch.

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😎

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.

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

Mind-blowing engineering. 👏🏽😍

Onde A tecnologia é a confiabilidade na fabricação de trem de pouso da Empresa Airbus, decolao juntos. Parabéns 🥇 🇧🇷👍

Happy to see you guys going outside the US, it's about time.

Thanks for your view our lives are very important to science and technology today

មេីលហេីយគិតច្រេីនណាស់

You're doing a pretty good job. Thanks for sharing.!

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).

Brilliant and very informative, thanks.

Pesawat yang luar biasa 👍👍👍

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❤️🙂

Just a fancy ad and marketing campaign....

The engineers in Airbus and Boing did miracelous job.

Si je ne trompe pas, l’usine est dans les Pyrénées près d’Oloron Sainte Marie.

What an amazingly complex engineering feat...

At the Dulles Air & Space Museum, they have an A380 main gear on display! It's incredible to see up close!!

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

As an American I am 100% biased towards US Manufactured aircraft and products. Yet. I never worry about air worthiness when stepping aboard an Airbus aircraft. Oh...I love the A340. Too bad this will fade into history.

pretty cool that the people that make the TBM help Airbus. win win

I would say Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems is the world leader in aircraft braking technology.

Excellent documentary.

Lindo demais esse vídeo de avião parabéns pelas imagens 👏

Brilliant Footage

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.

Exelente, dsd San Luis, Argentina. 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Seems to be one of the toughest job and highly paid either

I made the cut! Lol tearing down a B-52 main gear back when I worked on landing gear.

Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

FAN OF FANTASTIC ❤

Yeah, another great show. Excellent video too.!

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....

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.

I am retired USAF and we called them sound suppressors.

Great video, but it needs to be re-titled.

From Laos 🇱🇦

Marvelous perfection

IN BRESIL TECNOLOGIA DE PRIMEIRO MUNDO !!!

very good job thanks

Very nice

Good to see behind the scenes. Just subscribed 🇬🇧

High quality aircraft and video! Thanks.

I like the Microsoft Flightsimulator like music at the beginning of the video

A flight cycle includes take-off and landing, yes?

Airbus is great but it needs another 60 years to be where Boing is

Marvelous.

Great video....thanks 👍 👌

💞🌹🌹💞 💞Very Good 💞

GOOD.

What has a fighter jet engine overhaul got to do with Airbus landing gear?

This sounds like a commercial.

Awesome video Man

Think about the landing what it has to do. I am 6''. This no joke bringing this kinda big mass to

woah a Sophisticated aircraft. :o

Why show the A380 when the main gears are manufactured by Goodrich?😂

Bem legal. Parabéns

Amazing 👍👍

that landing gear is a classic example of overengineering

Like🤓 wondering 😔 🤔 now I know.😏🙋🏼‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️thank you

Fantastic

It would be great if it wasn't just an 11-minute commercial for component mfrs. Better still without the over-dramatic music. This was like being back at school in the 70s, watching educational doccies the teachers used to keep us quiet.

use to work at HILL. surprised to see it on this vid

Spectacular!

Wow, landing gear....

4:27 "Air forces only landing gear overhaul facility" Sounds like something they might not want belligerent nations knowing.

Please create English subtitles. Thanks.

LANDING GEARS MUST HAVE REPLACEMENT CYCLE PERIODS BUT HOW TO DECIDE APPROPRIATELY..?

So, there is only one vendor… for all of our countries’ landing gear for all of our heavy lifters….. and you just ANNOUNCED IT ‘S NAME ON A KZfaq VIDEO?!!!

Way cool. Good one.

4:44 so basically he just said that the *entire* HL relationship - from the bidding process all the way thru hands-on work performed and documentation - is due for a full GAO audit. How could we possibly have just ONE privately owned company overhauling the entirety of our military aircraft’s gear, seemingly without competition??

Good for education

I wish we could see what SpaceX does to their fleet of boosters

3:27 The landing gear wasn't important on old airplanes? 🤔

* subtle Jurassic World background music *

Espero y este video lo lleguen a ver todas la aerolínea mexicanas no creo q aganvtodo esto

Great video. Stayed on topic!

Down to the millilitre? Hopefully at least a hundred times better.

Good stuff!

1:11 "...down to the millimeter." Wow, that's pinpoint accuracy! By the way, after having listened to this lady I appreciate the BBC English.

Here's me thinking this video was about Airbus

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.

Same one that made the defective nose gears on the 320 series.

What make tyres they fit as OEM ??

I flucking love it

maybe surprised this isn’t an insider video 7:45 *3,000 flight cycles.. how many times a year is that? (none?)

seoul, south korea.

What happen If you stand under the wheel?

Smooth...💕💕💕💕

The guy told his family he just landed a job 😂

Is it larger than Boeing 777-9?

Quiero trabajar ahi de capatas👍
