Knowledge: Heavy airplane lands on the ground at the speed of 300, yet why tyres do not burst
Have you ever wondered why their tyres don't explode when an airplane lands with a ton of weight? Actually, behind this is the wonder of science and technology.
You must have seen the tire bursting while driving. Even if the pressure goes too low, the tires burst. Sometimes big accidents also happen due to tire bursts. Even if more weight is put in, the tires still burst. At the same time, if there is more speed, then due to friction, the tire also catches fire. But have you ever wondered why their tires don't explode when an airplane lands with a ton of weight? Actually, behind this is the wonder of science and technology. Let's know...
Special tires are used
Actually, when an airplane lands, the speed is between 250 to 300 km. But its tires withstand both friction and pressure, as they are completely different from the tires of normal vehicles. Airplane special tires are made by mixing rubber, aluminum, and steel together. Even in these, 6 times more air is filled than the tires of normal vehicles.
Why is there no fire?
You must have heard that often drivers on the highway fill nitrogen gas in their tires. In the same way, nitrogen gas is filled in airplane tires, which is also dry and lighter than other gases. It is not affected by temperature and does not cause a fire. This gas does not even react with oxygen. Therefore, even after high speed, they do not burst after heating up.
How long is life?
According to media reports, tires are used in airplanes for takeoff and landing 500 times at a time. After this, the grip is mounted in it. A tire can be fitted with a maximum of 7 grips. In such a situation, the tires are able to takeoff and landing at most 3500 times.
