Inside an Aircraft Factory: Watch a Lufthansa Jet Go From Parts to Passenger

Go inside the factories and final-assembly halls where a Lufthansa airliner takes shape. This cinematic, film captures every major beat: design and composite layups, fuselage and wing section assembly, wiring and systems integration, cabin fit-out, paint and livery application, engine installation, ground and flight tests, and the delivery that turns a completed jet into airline service.

Shot with a natural, observational style, the film blends macro technical detail (fiber layup, fastener torques, laser alignment) with human moments — fitters, test pilots, engineers and cabin crews working together to certify safety and performance. See the choreography of heavy lifts, the hum of engine run-ups, the precision of avionics calibration, and the ritual of naming and handover. Whether you’re into aerospace engineering, airline operations, or industrial filmmaking, this is an inside look at how modern airliners are built and brought into service with a major carrier.

Use the chapters below to jump straight to design, paint, systems, sea trials and the delivery ceremony.
