so basically it looks like nothing’s happening and actually looks like the plane has no weight, the tires deformed less than the tires on my car when i get in

I once had this idea that little veins or other such things could spin the wheels using the air and save quite a bit on tire wear from landing like this – then I found there’s a patent for every type of solution I thought of – and yet the industry use none of them, they just burn rubber on the tarmac.

stupid question, but why don’t we start rolling the wheels before we even touch ground?

I always wondered: why dont those wheels spin already before touching down to reduce wear? Could be done with fanblades so air resistance starts turning them
Edit: I see that idea is already discussed 😀

The wheels are probably carrying even more than just the weight of the aircraft, as the pilot applies down-elevator to overcome ground effect.

How often do they need to change tires?

Finally without that stupid fake skid sound..

…and now film a Ryanair landing.

expecting seeing suspension springs working hard balancing the weight of plane. looking at mildly jiggly wheels instead

Does anyone know if there is a standard number of landings these tires can handle before they must be changed?
And do they required periodic rotation?

I have a problem lads. I came before the touchdown to see the bounce. Who do I seek for help?

They hit the tarmac and they spin. As expected. What’s so interesting?
Weight on wheels is an important term in controlling many of the functions on an aircraft as lots of functions needs to detect WOW before activating or is part of the logic

Okay, but like… how does something that big just… *become a jello-wobble pudding* when it lands?
Drift for me
Now show us a Ryanair landing/arrival.
Ok. I don’t know what I was expecting but ok. The wheels did their job. Kudos.
Sometimes I feel like Ryanair or jetblue pilots ar former navy fighter pilots:
