The Invention That Stops Aircraft No Matter What

Рет қаралды 4,581,186

Жыл бұрын

With thousands of aircraft taking off and landing at any given time in the world, it is just a matter of time (and statistics) for something to go wrong on the runway. But why runway excursions happen, how the chances of it happening is reduced, and what can be done to stop an airplane that is about to overshoot the runway, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #longs

Seen the coring team at work once, they were trying to get a sample of the sub base on a road, and had cored down half a metre through layer upon layer of top material, before they finally came to the sub grade layer. That road had been getting layers of top wear course added every few years since it was built, because the ground had subsided a little with time, and the swamp had been drained. Plenty of roads have thick wear courses, because they simply got overlaid with new, and the crown increased, and every decade or so the pavements were relaid higher. Old pictures from the 1930's of the building i lived in had a set of stairs at the front, now the pavement is level with the top step of the building, stairs all buried. Where I currently live 3 steps down from street level, for the same reason.

That's not burying the lede. Burying the lede (or lead if you use the older spelling) is mentioning the details but doing it in a way that "buries" them deep in the story rather than emphasizing them. I don't think he mentioned these details at all, (though granted I was doing other stuff while listening) so that doesn't fall under the definition of burying the lede. But even if he had mentioned those details, I wouldn't consider them to be the "lede". I think they were just ancillary to the actual point of the video, which was just to discuss the various methods that airports can and do use to slow down planes when necessary. This wasn't a video about Bob Hope airport or the EMAS at Bob Hope airport or the accident at Bob Hope airport, so those details can't be the lede.

2:34 is also why when landing in wet weather the landing is harder than normal as the pilot is intentionally landing at a higher than normal speed and at a steeper angle than normal. This helps minimise the hydroplaning because the water is driven out from between the tyre and the runway by the increased forces.

For the sake of precision, hydroplaning is different from, and actually a lot more interesting than, simply losing traction or friction because of water. Hydroplaning happens when water gets in front of/under your tires _faster than the weight of the vehicle can displace it_ . The incompressability and pressure of the water raises your tires completely out of contact with the driving surface and they end up skimming across the top of the thin later of water, like a water-skiier skimming across a lake. You're actually driving on top of the water, causing a potential complete loss of control or ability to brake in an acceptable fashion. It's super dangerous, but still very interesting from a physics perspective.

EMAS looks like a fantastic invention - Not just for its ability to _stop_ a runaway aircraft quickly and safely, but also for the fact it still provides a firm base over which to evacuate safely. EMAS stops aircraft, doors thrown open, slides deployed, everybody slides _over_ the damaged section of EMAS and then runs to safety. This gets a 100% from me! 💯✈👍

While friction between the wheels and the runway provide most of the breaking, passenger aircraft still have reverse thrust from the engines they can use for breaking that doesn't rely on friction. Planes can still land on slippery surfaces (within limits )but the aircrew needs to know the conditions so they can plan for it.

Burbank/Bob Hope/Hollywood -- BUR airport and the history there with Southwest Airlines runway overruns should have been instructive in this video. Southwest Airlines flight 1455 on March 5th, 2000 went off the end of the runway and famously came to a stop at a gas station across the street. It's an amazing testament to the constant culture of improvement how different the later Southwest incident was due to this barrier system--though one wonders about Southwest's lack of improvement...

You'll also see these on the highway going down steep mountains. Here in Tennessee on monteagle mountain they have excursion pits every few hundred yards. The mountain is so steep and the trucker's used to lose control so often... It's basically just really fine River gravel (or pea gravel.) And it's super deep. They'll sink several feet down into it and it can stop them in the length of about five transfer trailer trucks. And they're usually going really fast so that's impressive to stop them in such a short distance. I always found them interesting but I made the mistake of stepping into one once after an excursion had just been removed. I sunk down like 3 ft. Nearly left my damn shoes at the bottom

my guess is that the nose wheel would kick up the gravel, which would then go into the engines and destroy them. Or just the chance that some gravel would get onto the runway and get sucked into the engines of aircraft landing or taking off? Keeping little bits of stuff, Foreign Objects or Debris, a.k.a.
