    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

    "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!

    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.

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.

    as a farmer i can say that that tread pattern is common on the attachments but not the vehicle itself and also that yes we do indeed hit the ground at that speed quite often

      @@carultch Maybe, but that's 10 times the length. Quite the oversight. I also wouldn't think 5 milimetres to be enough, unless that pressure of 200 psi is enough that the tires don't deform at all under the weight.

      Nitrogen (N2) has similar properties as a noble gas but its not an noble gas.

      It is inert in the context of how it's being used. Unlike air, it won't auto-ignite at the high temperatures/pressures which can be reached inside an airliner tire.

    A few fun facts about tires on the Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft...
    -- the tires on the 737NG (-700, -800, -900, -900ER) are inflated to around 205 psi.
    -- the nose tire are of a 12 bias-ply rating; the main tires (2 on each main gear) have either 28 or 30 bias-ply rating plies, depending on model of 737. The 737 MAX 9 tires have a 32 bias-ply rating.
    -- tires are replaced on condition; not after a specific number of landings. Due to the number of plies, it is permissible to fly with one cord showing on the main tires, but as soon as the second cord is visible, the tire must be changed. This isn't so much for safety reasons, but rather to make sure that the tire casing is capable of being recapped -- because they have so many plies, tire blowouts are rare.
    -- in the case of an overheated tire, the wheel has fuse plugs installed which melt and release the tire's pressure, before a blowout occurs.
    -- if one main tire's pressure falls to 80% to 90% of the recommended pressure (165 - 187 psi), the tire must be replaced (due to sidewall stresses); and if it falls to less than 80% of recommended (164 psi), both that tire, and the adjacent tire must be replaced (again, due to sidewall stresses, regardless of the adjacent tire's actual pressure reading). If the loss of pressure occurred while rolling, both tires must be scrapped, thus they cannot be recapped.
    -- tire pressure is set to 205 psi to prevent hydroplaning at normal takeoff and landing speeds.
    -- most commercial airport runways are grooved (from side to side) and crowned to prevent standing water from accumulating, which could cause hydroplaning.
    -- regardless of the time stated in the video to change a tire, my airline's mechanics could change a single tire in less than 30 minutes -- they keep fresh tire assemblies under the terminal gates for just such an occurrence.
