We've got used to think that Russian production factories are, as a rule, half-destroyed buildings with leaking roofs and crooked staircases ending at the ceiling. However, the aircraft construction factory where they produce Sukhoi Superjets 100 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, is a sufficient refutation of the charge. About 12,000 people work at the two departments of the factory. In the first one they make the fuselage, and in the other one they install electronics, engines, etc. Let's see how they turn a piece of aluminium into a plane. ▶ Moscow sends electronic models of planes to the factory, which later has to produce them. By the way, the Sukhoi Superjet was the first to have been produced in this way. The 'electronic' production saves its designers and constructers about 2 years of time. ▶ Here they turn aluminium into aircraft parts. ▶ These are computerized control machines. There are 30 of them at the factory. 18 Likes 4 Shares

▶ Chips go for recycling. ▶No one but a machine operator, participates in it. He watches the process on the screen, which is also the control panel. ▶ These machines can cut large parts of a very complicated shape. 3 Likes 2 Shares

▶ The aircraft's fuselage has over 40 thousand rivets and the wing has over 15 thousand ones. With the help of this riveting laser, they drill holes and install rivets. ▶ They also cut out small components with it. 2 Likes 1 Share

▶ The wing skin gets shaped manually at a separate press. ▶ They control the 14-meter wing skin production with this mould set. The deflection must not be more than 1 millimeter. ▶ If the deflection exceeds the limit, they apply another special machine. When the wing skin has aquired the right shape, they prime it to prevent corrosion. ▶ For each fuselage panel, there is a special 'pallet'. 2 Likes 3 Shares

▶ Fastening marking is made by hand, the machine cannot replace the human completely, so workers sometimes have to mark spots for riveting by themselves. ▶ After the link-up, they begin to assemble the fuselage. 2 Likes 1 Share

▶ In this department they assemble wings. ▶ The center wing with a fuel tank inside. They attach wings to it. ▶ Here they install wing spars and wing ribs. ▶ '95021 left' means that this is a loose piece of the wing whichbelongs to the aircraft #21. On the whole, Sukhoi has produced 11 aircrafts. 1 Like 1 Share

▶ They control the assembly process from these enclosed offices, like they do at Boeing. ▶ There are six work stations where each of the six planes spends 30 days, before moving to the next station. ▶ The first work station or Platform #1.

CSTR2: Actually I don't know, but my question is, can we replicate and couple this thing perfectly without them/whites? Even if we do, how many Nigerians will have the mind to fly a plane constructed in Nigeria when we even find it so difficult to patronise the local car manufacturers? 69 Likes 3 Shares |

Wat trips me is the way those ladies are working on the airplane. Making it seem so easy like say na amala dem dey prepare I hope our engineers would take a cue from here and stop chasing those bank jobs this should be in front page Cc: lalasticlala 30 Likes 3 Shares |
