How to build an Airbus A340-600 in 340 seconds.

Discuss.

i don't believe it, thats stupid.

cool-age

What isn't there to believe there?

idk, the video is supposedly 3 times faster.. it just seems like theyre skipping steps, but idk. and theres another video on youtube and it takes much longer, and looks like theres the same amount of stuff going on, and the enourmous pieces they are moving around are moving very quickly, no way that they could move something so hugh so quickly.. and the aintings gotta take a while, putting the protective sheet over its gotta take at least 10 minutes at the least.

well its a mixture between sped up and, erum what do u call it, skipping frames

a quick search on the internet shows it'd take about 3-4 days

*shrugs* what does it matter?

I love the painting process, but I'd like to see more detail on the engine installations and such.

Assuming Austin is joking, lol.

Cost of an A340-300 - $171,000,000
Seeing people literally blown away by it - priceless

The 747 totally pwns the 340-600:

Too bad P Juliana Airport is to small for the A380. I would SO be on that beach all day long waiting for that bad ass airplane.

airbus a380 totally pwns any other jetplane including the 747 lol ^^^

^^[lol]

wow..
thats possibly the coolest thing i've ever saw.
My brother rode one to colorado and he said they were amazing.

Heh, after watching that video of St. Maartin I just had to jump in FSX for a landing there in an A321. Thats one of the more nerve wrecking places to set a large bird in that game down.

Try it with a 747. [:D]

I thought KLM was a dutch airline...

^ It is, in case you didn't know, St. Maarten is also Half Dutch and half French, so that's why you see so much KLM and Air France..

And I was just waiting for that vid, I love this Airport soo much, like the coolest place ever

[Turbo]

I want to go to france twice as bad now. (or at least the beach there)

Well, this is the carribean eh[;)]

I found a new video this one shows a DragonAir A330-200 being assembled and painted in 5 minutes

omg the painting prosess is so lenghty

and some of its hand painted
what if one of them makes a mistake...

... sh*t...can i have a new plane please?

Now that is an amazing paintjob, alot of work for an airliner.

... just watched teh A380 in 7 minutes video.... Its amazing how they transport that thing! I've seen docs about how they do it and all but its simply breath taking at the scale of the project.

Woah, I assume Dragonair isn't they're easiest custumer.

i'd love to have that kind of paint job on my house, that would be awesome

I just realized that the video that I started the topic with was only 128 seconds! anyway this is the full 346 second video with No skipped parts

IDK what to say about the 346 seconds thing, but the whole process was really cool. I had no idea that they assembled it in parts. I guess that's what they have to do though...

BTW, anyone know what the music was? It was really cool.
