@@dailysandwich4838 who you're tlaking about?

They are small relative to the size of the aircraft. A Cessna 172 tire is less than half the diameter of most normal car tires if that

@@DAN007thefoxx1 And what pressure is used in a c172 tire?

@@Mark-rt6fy I assume its a relatively high pressure for the small size. But most airplanes weigh less than similarly sized cars.

@@DAN007thefoxx1 I just google'd a bit after posting here. Looks like those tires are inflated to 31 psi, pretty comparable to normal car tires then

F15 tires are inflated to 315psi! The mains, not sure about the nosewheel.

Great comment, thank you for giving us the perspective of an engineer! Very interesting

Thank you for answering a question I've been asking for years "Why aren't the wheels spun up tp speed before landing?" Now, I know. Thanks again.

God dammit.... just take my like.

Same

I'm giving you a like. It's your Dad joke of the day award, a like.

I've seen what you've done there...🤣🤣

What a great joke 😂😂😂 !!

The steel tank testing with water can be seen for example in SpaceX's latest fuel tank test for their superheavy "starship" spacecraft. Only a very tiny amount of water is seen escaping as a weld fails and then nothing more happens.

I would not have guessed that reasoning without someone explaining it... Thank you!

Did not know that! Very cool

When I first saw the clip, I had assumed they did the test in a pool of water to dampen the violent release, it didn't occur to me that they might have been using water inside!

Same reason hydraulics are generally considered safer than pneumatics, especially at higher loads.

Thank you for saving me 7 mins of my life

Thanks for posting the comment I was looking for.

even more accurate 150-200

Good bless you buddy

This is all I cared about. Thank you

Music Good Nice

Music Good love it😂

@@flywithcaptainjoe thanks, I love your videos 😀 😘

Music Good I see what you did there!

Unless they retire and dont work anymore :D

NA they were held together with bubble gum and sticky tape and O' Leary eat all the sticky tape he mistook it for bubble gum lol

Yo i know that is a joke but in a way you are saying its a bad airline. But hear me out, its really not. I found it to be good for the price of the tickets. Its comfy for around 3 hour flights and the flight attendants are nice and the food is good. It is not so bad as people picture it to be!

vale it’s a meme I have no hate towards the airline

Lol

@@valentinascerri6492 no they are really terrible not only if you are flying with them as a passenger but more so if you work for them. They really earn there bad reputation. but the point is they know but it's part of there business model. Strip everything you can down to only the mandatory cost. and if you want anything extra make people pay for it. O' Leary has him self admitted openly that if people want the cheapest of the cheap they can get cheap. that is all they aim at. you want to travel for just 50 euro from the Netherlands to Spain sure.

Sad that a lot of pilots don't talk to passengers as they deplane anymore. I know a lot of people don't care, but I always like to peek inside the cockpit, and I like to thank the crew. I recently visited Hamilton Island in Australia on a 737. I noticed we touched down near the runway threshold, and that the landing was very firm. I figured the runway must be quite shirt, so I looked it up, and sure enough, it was short enough that nothing bigger than a 737 could land there. When I left and we landed back in Melbourne, for once, the pilots were standing outside the cockpit, so I said something like "so I guess there's isn't a lot of room for error on that runway is there?" They said there wasn't, and we discussed the approach. They seemed to think it was cool that I was interested.

Here in Mexico, years ago an Aeromexico MD-82 Pilot did that same "on one side" landing but not because of a burst tyre, but because the entire left side landing gear leg did not drop down, even afyer repeated attempts, some "shaking" maneuvers, etc. So he kept the left wing above for the longest time possible, and the result was a surprisingly little damage to the wing tip. Excellent Airmanship!

@@deeanna8448 Oh, yeah. You're very cool. So cool. Do you also wear sunglasses indoors? 😎

@@m_i_g_5108 yes, always. Even while watching movies or sleeping. Sometimes I wear two pair.

@@deeanna8448 hilarious 😂 I've seen people wearing sunglasses over prescription glasses before. Very cool😎

Still better than Pegasus. They need a new plane every day...

in a way that could be seen as a compliment. That would mean that they fly up to 150 to 200 flights a day. that is quite a feat how ever you look at it.

Just flew with Ryanair yesterday... Landings were good🤷🏼

@@paulroling1781 that's so rude but true

yeah lol

Or work with a company that makes aircraft wheels and brakes :)

an* aircraft

That would be interesting, once i was on flight and it delayed for about 2 hours while they were changing tires while we were on board, or something like that i dont remeber

Any explanations about the choice to use nitrogen ... Can't helium be used instead for the same purpose ?

Both free Nitrogen and Oxygen are found in pairs (e.g. N2 & O2) and not as individual atom's. Nitrogen (N2), although not a true "Inert gas" like Helium or any of the other Noble gases, is rather non-reactive with most materials (e.g. many metals and rubber compounds found in tires and wheels) unless heated to hundreds of degrees more than the temperature that Oxygen (O2) would start to react. This is due to strength of each of Nitrogen's 3 valence electrons bonding to the other Nitrogen atom's 3 valence electrons. Oxygen only has 2 valence electrons bonding with the other Oxygen atom of the O2 pair). This requires less energy to break the bonds of O2 and create individual atom's of Oxygen which can then react quickly with other materials. Using pure Nitrogen instead of compressed atmospheric gases insures that no water (H2O) is present. Water, when heated or cooled during the normal and emergency operating temperature range of a transport aircraft (< -50°F to > +300°F) will not perform like that of an Ideal gas (PV=nRT). This could cause tire pressures that are over or under the designed or expected pressures during landings, taxing, and takeoffs. Pure Oxygen gas (O2) will also perform similar to the Ideal Gas Law, like nitrogen. BUT Oxygen is more reactive with some of the tire and wheel materials than is Nitrogen, possibly resulting in long term corrosion or deterioration. And Oxygen will aid combustion in case if a fire (especially when a tire rupture occurs under elevated tire pressures - aborted take off, emergency braking, etc). Bottom line, you need to use a single, low reactive, readily available gas instead of using compressed atmospheric gases. And Nitrogen would be a better choice than Oxygen. With regards to using Helium, it would be an excellent gas in terms of not reacting with any materials, or aiding combustion, BUT Helium does not form a molecule of any kind (nor do any other of the Noble Gases). As a single, small atom not paired up like O2 or N2 gases, Helium is much smaller than a molecule of O2 or N2. This means that materials that might be impervious to O2 or N2 molecules could allow Helium to pass through. This effect is seen with 'rubber' balloons not rated for Helium. If they are filled with Helium they will not stay inflated very long. Hope this helps.

@@andrewjohn7782 Not quite sure explaining thoses tires remains porous like stands kind an help !!! Whatsoever it is .

Interesting. Never knew that!

This is especially true with racing tires used in NASCAR, Indycar, IMSA Formula 1, etc. due to the extreme heat generated under repetitive hard braking and high speed cornering.

Can confirm my tyres are also, currently filled with nitrogen as that's what Costco use in the UK.

it's an option at a lot of auto shops as well. As far as I can tell, it seems to leak a bit less, so you don't need to top up quite as often.

@@elephant35e Car tires filled with N2 have usually a green cap on the valve

Acetylene bottles have them too, to prevent explosions.

chopper pilot? :-)

Lots of different tires in the last decade have been getting factory filled with nitrogen 😊

Slashes happen during shipping. Especially when you move them around with a forklift. The forks can damage the sidewall. I've seen maybe 3 or 4 in my career. Mechanics are suppose to catch this before they go on the Aircraft. But you can't see everything working at night .

That’s for a 747. They differ from jet to jet. I work on KC-135 which uses split rim tires and if one were to blowout it’s not good lol. That’s why we check tires on every inspection after every flight, before every flight etc. Same with the brakes

My dad would laugh all the time. I do it now. Watch Ina Garten, very much like that.

It is properly called an Hydrostatic Test... and it is not "mostly filled" but COMPLETELY filled with water, as any air bubble interferes with the test. The objective is to obtain a detailed graph of the pressure up to the desired test pressure limit, and in case of a DESTRUCTIVE test (made sometimes to find the ultimate pressure or "bursting pressure" of the tire, pipe or pressure vessel) to have clues as HOW was the failure.

@@alfredomarquez9777 you so smart.

It is not related to how smart, but how KNOWLEDGEABLE ;)

Treads.

It depends on where you go and who you work for. In general, imperial measurements are very common due to the heavy American influence within the aerospace industry. However, it is common to also see metric and SI units in other parts of the world including Europe and Asia. For ease of understanding, it is common to see both imperial and SI units quoted within documentation. For aircraft speeds, knots is standard inflight (although there are different ways to define this; true airspeed, computed/calibrated airspeed etc.). If mph and km/h are quoted, it is usually only for on-ground speeds or for passengers to have a quantifiable, familiar reference point.

@John Drohan not funny and I usually enjoy Muslim jokes

ha ha because their ads sued to allways had planes in theme

Not trying to be mean or kill your vibe. But 99% percent of the time "nitrogen" from shops and dealerships is just a cash grab. They just use regular atmosphere air. (Coming from someone that has worked at 2 dealerships and 2 shops in the last 8 years) some places are legit but its rare.

I've jacked a few smaller aircraft, DC-7's. If you are lucky, you have a hydraulic mule/power source to pump the jacks. If not, manually for a long time. As you go, level is maintained and the jack points checked to be sure no side stress crops up.

@@davidnewcomb2700 I've used pnuematic Jack's for And Md-88. Works pretty good for working in the middle of nowhere

Apparently around $5,000 a piece, which really isn't all that bad being its aerospace.

@@AllenSunnyD Thanks, Allen

You can find them used for about 1000 bucks each there's alot of farmers that put them on their equipment because they never wear them out alot of them have a sidewall that's about 3-4 inches thick compared to a truck tire that's maybe a half inch

@@AllenSunnyD That is not bad $5,000 i have looked at farm tractor tiers that are £25,000 a piece

Ralph Turner Probably more than a Modern Car.

Yes he was.

Film like the one where the fuseplugs release are typically from certification flight testing -- a maximum-energy braking test in this case. It's a given that the fuseplugs will release (required in order to pass that portion of the test, in fact), so everyone is ready for it.

Certainly more than I could earn in a year or perhaps two

$2100 each for 747 tires. $37800 total.

@@bradgeorge5748 find a local jc that offers the course and go for if you really want to do that...

I was hoping he'd address that, too. Why not have an air driven mechanism to get the wheels up to speed before landing and massively reduce wear?

I don't know all the reasons why the tires are not spun up just before touch-down, but I do know that this topic has been examined for years. A flight instructor of mine who had gone to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida told me that this topic is reviewed in class by the teachers, and that overall it has never proved worthwhile to do. But I never was told any details.

Maybe some vanes on the side walls would generate spin with little extra cost or weight? Maybe I should get a patent in b4 the idea is stolen. Lol.

Croft ... search this channel for the answer. Basically, its weight and physics, if one or more wheels fail to spin up

I just wrotte the same thing!great minds think alike!!

Spinning tires cause Gyroscopic effect and affects the aircraft handling. The same reason why the brakes are applied as soon as the aircraft is airborne, otherwise the plane won't respond correctly. Air Force Crew Chief with 24 years experience.

Watch Mentourpilot's "Why not make plane-tires spin, before landing?!". He pretty much destroys the idea fact by fact.

@@upnorthviking823 so much for your great mind Bahahahaha! 🥣 - Air Force Crew Chief with 15 years experience.

Not sure if they have to be rotated or do the penny test to pass inspection.

The depth of the tread is measured. Below 2/32 of inch the tire would be replaced.
