aircraft factory

A facility where aircraft are manufactured, from small planes to large commercial jets and military aircraft.
Aircraft factories typically require enormous floor space for assembly lines where fuselages, wings, and components come together: Boeing's aircraft factory in Everett, Washington is one of the largest buildings in the world by volume.
