14 DAY TRIAL // As much as some people hate flying, what with turbulence and misplaced luggage, the fact of the matter is that, at least until rockets and spaceships go mainstream, airlines are the world's fastest means of transportation.
Just in case there are some of you who are utterly and completely fascinated with planes, here is a video documenting how an Airbus A350 airliner is made, starting with the design phase and all the way to testing it.
This piece of information might come as a bit of a surprise to some of you, but as it turns out, it takes about 4,000 engineers and several years of hard work to design an aircraft and get everything in order for construction work to begin.
Once this phase is completed, experts get busy building all of the aircraft's different anatomical bits, which are individually subjected to all sorts of tests.
Funnily enough, the engines have dead birds thrown at them, just to make sure that, should they chance to come across a duck or some other high-soaring creature during flight, they can still perform with feathers stuck to them.
All in all, the engineers in charge of building an airliner make and test about 2.65 million different parts that, when finally assembled, form a brand new Airbus A350.
Although the parts were individually tested before assembly, the plane must too prove that it has what it takes to safely carry people all around the world before being allowed to take to the skies.
