Wings and cranes

Wings and cranes

In the foreground of this photograph is an A380 wing resting just above the ground. In the background, we see another wing elevated. The one on the ground is being stored here for the next A380, while the one in the background is already part of one of the giant planes that is currently being built.

Above, on the ceiling, are two large cranes that are used to hoist major plane components, like these wings, into place.
