An Airbus A380 in service with Emirates
The Airbus A380 is the largest passenger airliner in the world. Several airlines are using them, including British Airways, Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines. However Emirates has the largest fleet in the world.
To keep the Airbus A380 running requires regular maintenance, but doing a “C check” is pretty intense and involves dismantling a lot of the plane. Emirates recently did this on one of their A380s and filmed the entire process:

As you can see they stripped the plane right down and put it back together again. Pretty impressive!
