Very cool video about how Lears are built.

Great show! I've been in that factory and it's very impressive; very clean.

Very cool.

I do wonder why they perhaps don't dip the wing innards to seal it *for sure*. It seems like a lot of sealant already (thinking in terms of weight considerations)

They still hand rivet...

I have to admit I expected to see something like a Lear to have construction techniques to be a little more "high speed". I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

How do you think they build airliners? Spoiler alert, the exact same way.

Most aircraft are still built with WWII technology. Beachcraft tried to leap ahead with Carbon Fiber, their plastic planes fly great, but they were not a commercial success.

We'll heve to see how the 787 does long term. Could be a game changa.
