The video shows the manufacturing process, the tools, the finished parts, the size of the finished parts, the assembly process, the size and types of aircraft, the different sizes relative to the aircraft and their real world testing methods. In other words, how it all works to support the weight of the plane. How did you miss all of that?

There was a hurricane that did some damage to Kuai, Iniki(?) 1992(?). A FEMA team was sent immediately. They brought a communication rig, generator and two fuel trucks...in a C5. Kauai has a short runway. No C5 had ever landed there(?). So, while the FEMA team was on the way, the Airforce flew a C5 from the Philippines...to try it out... That C5 landed alright.....but it was empty. My friend was on the C5 with the FEMA team....and all of their gear...really heavy! He said that he never heard the landing gear, tires and brakes roar so loudly.

Tbh that is kinda impressive. Those engines put out so much power you need 7 tires just to stop it

The most dangerous part of flying are the takeoffs. The fuel tanks are full, so that plane never weighs more, and it's rippin' down that runway with all that weight pressing down on those tires. A simple tire blowout would be cataclysmic. Once the plane arrives at its destination and it's ready to land, the fuel tanks, and therefore the plane itself weighs far less, so the tires aren't as stressed. A fellow passenger I had just met was nice enough to share this info JUST before taking off. I'll never forget it.

@apogee9973

Жыл бұрын

That just isn't true though, a blown tire isn't a catastrophic failure, and yes there is a lot of jet fuel, but you also have less momentum. It's also worth noting that taxi is the same as the runway in your example if not "more dangerous"" since you don't have enough speed to generate lift, which means all the weight is on the aircraft's wheels. As the aircraft is accelerating down the runway it builds up speed and therefore lift, as lift increases the weight on the wheels decreases which in turn makes it safer (in your flawed example). So, I wouldn't let that random guy scare you. Even assuming there was a blow out of the tires there is 2 on each wheel, which means you would have a backup and just abort the takeoff. (Which mind you is extremely rare.) Even assuming you had both tires blow out which has happened before look into the February 22nd, 2022, A plane headed to Phoenix with 142 passengers blew two tires during takeoff, but the jet stopped safely on the runway. Passengers were transferred to another plane, and no one was hurt. So, to summarize, this is just not true in any regard, so don't worry about anything in future flights. And if you really want to know the most "dangerous part" it is universally considered to be the landings. Since you are at the extremes of the flight envelope among other factors, and since statistically, nearly half of all fatal accidents have happened during the approach / landing phases of flight are the most dangerous.

“This Boeing 747-8 is preforming what is called a rejected takeoff.” - Airplane takes off…

so the 'how these bogeys can support an aircraft' question is answered 'somehow'. The Antonov 225 nose gear can 'crouch' to assist loading and the thing has 32 wheels holding up 640 tons (or 1433600 pounds in USA speak) so it might be worth a mention. Also worth a mention are the cases where the landing gear failed and how the design evolved.

I don’t think they’ll bring up that plane because of the animosity involved. Ukrainians don’t want to admit that the plane was actually built by the Russians. It becomes a finger pointing game. Too much conflict between the countries regarding the plane and what happened. Russia will take the plane and rebuild it. It is a historical plane and it’s not entirely destroyed. Just was damaged to where it’ll take some time to repair it. But it was a dated plane that needed to be updated and rehauled with newer and stronger components.

Pavement strength is what limits tire pressure BTW, to somewhere around 180 psi for larger airports. Going higher doesn't break the pavement instantly, but does wear it out faster over time via fatigue. Same idea as with metal fatigue, where the amount of load applied plays off against the number of cycles until damage or failure.

@@michaelcesco2970 Scales might be used in special situations such as flight testing, and some airliners have built-in gear weight sensing. What's typically used in classic Weight & Balance calculations, where no direct measurements are made, is an assumed weight for the empty aircraft, the fuel taken on, and passengers plus bags. That can be a number like 220 lb per passenger including bags. I was once told that your (American) football players scenario is in fact what designs floor strength. For the aisle, where people actually walk, floor rigidity is also a consideration. Even if it's strong enough, a lot of flexing would be disconcerting. The above is for normal-sized airliners. For the smallest commuter planes, e.g. Cessna twins, passengers may be individually weighed and then seated so as to insure proper balance.
