The 747 Guillotine: How a 400-Ton Jet Is SLICED Apart in a BRUTAL Aircraft RECYCLING Process

This video is for educational and documentary purposes only.
Our goal is not to promote, glorify, or endorse any industry or practice shown, but to represent the real processes behind global manufacturing and materials as they truly exist.



Ever wonder how a 400-ton Boeing 747 is taken apart at the end of its flying life? We go deep inside an aircraft recycling yard to reveal the ENTIRE teardown process. From precision cuts through aerospace aluminum to engine recovery and material separation, this is heavy-industry dismantling like you've NEVER seen before.

What you'll see:

•
Aircraft decommissioning procedures: fluid draining, decontamination, and safety lockout

•
High-powered cutting tools slicing through the fuselage, wings, and tail sections with surgical precision

•
The infamous “guillotine” cuts that break the jumbo jet into transportable segments

•
Removal and disassembly of engines, landing gear, avionics, and flight-control systems

•
Segregation of aerospace-grade aluminum, titanium, steel, and composite materials

•
Cable stripping and wiring recovery for copper and precious-metal content

•
Shredding and sorting lines preparing metals for remelting and reuse

•
Final material certification and shipment back into the global supply chain

Why watch:

•
See how one of the largest commercial aircraft ever built is dismantled safely and efficiently

•
Understand how aerospace recycling recovers valuable materials from retired jets

•
Learn how end-of-life aircraft are processed to reduce waste and environmental impact

Notes:

•
Filmed for educational and industrial insight purposes

•
Non-graphic; all processes follow professional safety and environmental standards

•
This documentary is not affiliated with Boeing or any airline; it illustrates general aircraft-recycling techniques.
