FLIEGT das A380 MODELL? – Meister der Modelle | Experience – Die Reportage | kabel eins Doku

Back in Peter Michel's workshop, months have passed since the start of construction. The A380 was able to go to the paint shop faster than expected. The plane bears the paint and coat of arms of a large Arab airline that liked it. the hobbyist project when the paint arrives and there is only light, then it will not be good when there are windows and doors, then really that is the most beautiful phase of the entire construction period because there is Hal, so practically the end is predictable, so visually what we had before. changes again Yes, a phase of Britt weeks months in the place without me changing anything external to the plane and that is already exhausting.

Today the first flight of the A380 is supposed to take place. The fan and his assistant are nervous, so Michel tries to secure the individual pieces with tension straps. How afraid are you of the plane during each transport? Rather when flying home from Ingelheim, the A380 heads towards the Ruhr region at a sports airfield near Soß, the A380 is supposed to take off for the first time. Before, however, a decisive challenge awaits the inventor and his model : The Federal Aviation Office requires technical approval for aircraft weighing more than 25 kilos. Peter Michel also has to demonstrate the flight characteristics of the aircraft in precisely defined maneuvers.

Now it will be demonstrated whether the airplane manufacturer's calculations are correct, resisting the critical gaze of the examiner Udo Menke, he decides if the airplane receives approval, so this heavy landing gear is operated with 3 bar F, that is, the small axial play that R is not braked can be a little play because only the one with the brakes are free of play. Yes, I see the counterforce of the machine like that, but it is not that common for them to build and that is something important but there are smaller passenger planes that also have approval but this size did not exist before now with this technology according to original Airbus documents for build such a device first step the fuselage of the A380 is weighed so the men determine the weight with which they have to load the wings more from here to me not from behind yes like this and now the cross forward someone has to pull I pull K back a little m long not so much too much now ok There is now 8.4 kg were added, so now we have 30.1 plus 8.4 kg 38 3 3.5 the R.

The ren do Udo Menke and his son have prepared bags of sand of 10 and 20 kg each, the wings will each be loaded with three times the weight of the fuselage in To see how they react to forces during flight operations, this is now measured before the bending load test, which means that the plane is now in a certain position without any load and this position is now recorded with a measured zch, we now have 1.5 here we have 99 which will now be noticeable when the weights are added, the wing will inevitably lower. Both sides of the wing should lower evenly.

If a wing drops much lower, then there is something wrong with the wing. Peter Michel can't anymore. Now only the examiner decides whether the 3,500 hours of work were worth it. The weights are placed as a wedge in the largest weight and then practically as a wedge outwards, the smaller one, of course, because the surface here is also of the As for depth it doesn't take that much either 95 89 that's right, so a deflection of 5 cm on each side is fine, that is a story we have already tried twice in the construction of the frame, but not with such an ending. consequences It's like they lend him pesos or have given him pesos, but he does it with a different distribution and of course confident, but when he takes the obstacle it is reassuring, yes, but they always don't look at it, no. , why are you so tense now?

Peter Michel has to do it Preparing the A380 for takeoff For the first time, the A380 will take off a little later, back to Peter Michel in Sost, the aircraft manufacturer is making the final preparations for the A380's maiden flight I get on the GTE to re-prop the left wing, they are plugged in so they don't break when flying, so a double gur Z for added safety during the starting process one of the four turbines doesn't start no no no no gas here come just turn it on more the gas valve is defective Peter Michel connects a gas bottle to start the engine manually To start it one of the men has a fire extinguisher ready.

It has happened several times. times a turbine has burst into flames. Luckily this time everything goes well. There's nothing to do. It is simply an urban process where the turbine needs additional gas. For some unknown reason The A380 model measures almost 5 m Peter Michel is Faced with his biggest test yet, pilot Michael Breäuer rechecks whether the four turbines are really working and finally gives the green light for takeoff. The machine stops on a steep slope, almost too steep, Peter Michel can push the plane down with the help of the elevators. "At the touch of a button you change the setting and solve the problem.

The A380, at 140 hours, is quite slow compared to aerobatic models. The biggest danger is that radio contact will be lost and an accident will occur. After Peter Michel has to constantly monitor the plane and correct its movements. If the plane turns, it's over. After 12 minutes, the approach to landing begins. The 10 liters of kerosene on board are Almost sold out. The model has her virginity and receives it. The approval is now a reward for the effort. The Arab airline has invited the manufacturer of the A380 model to an air show in Abu Dhabi where people will be amazed by the master of the models .
