    I don't think Airplanes touch down to the ground straight down at 170MPH, they fly horizontally at around that speed. The touch down is around 50 feet per minute or as less as the pilot can do to make a smooth almost weightless touchdown once contacted on the ground the spoilers come up and push the aircraft more onto the ground and create drag to slow the aircraft down

      @@trojan-david *LmAo yOu dOnT kNow wHaT sPoileRs aNd fLaPs ArE?* Flaps are the things extending, to generate more lift, so the plane can fly slower. So it doesnt have to land at 220kts, but instead can land at 140kts, which is way safer, since the distance to stop is smaller. Spoilers do the exact opposite. They destroy the lift, so once the aircraft touched down it wont bounce up again, and since the lift is minimized the pressure on the tires is greater, and thus the traction between runway and tire is greater. And of course spoilers create additional drag, as well as flaps do.
      TLDR: Flaps = More Lift at less speed + drag Spoilers = Destroys lift/ presses aircraft to ground + drag

    • @analool7873
      @analool7873 3 роки тому +23

      Typical Vertical speed at touchdown is ~150 fpm. Too slow vertical speed may be counterproductive. Depending on weather and RWY Condition it might be safer to land at a higher verical speed. For example to prevent aquaplaning

    They didnt deflate the tires to reduce the chance of exploding, the wheel and tire are 2 separate things. They reduce the tire pressure so the tire becomes softer and it lifts a little bit off of the ground, making it easier to slide off the hub. Its the same trick diesel mechanics use when they need to change a trucks tire.

    "If you dropped a watermelon..."
    People, planes don't drop when they land! (it's called a crash, otherwise!) They transition from the wings providing lift (obviously supporting the fuselage as a result) to the tyres progressively taking the plane's weight as it decelerates.
    "...at 170 MPH..."
    Again, people: Any object falling at that speed and *abruptly* hitting the ground...is going to do a whole lot more than pop. A 500,000-pound plane would smash to pieces and leave a crater--'tyres popping' would be the least of your concerns!

The main reason for using nitrogen in tyres is, any moisture has been removed from it during the production/compression. It is the moisture in normal atmospheric air causing all the problems mainly excessive pressure fluctuation with temperature changes. Added (marginal) benefits of nitrogen are a slightly less weight and more safety in case of a fire.

    Tech insider "this runway is made out of tarmac"

      Tarmac is a name for a material that at one point was used in airport pavement construction. Even though this application no longer uses tarmac as the material, tarmac is the de-facto name for any pavement at the airport, that is built for airplane traffic. It refers to all of the above collectively. Runways, jet aprons and taxiways.
