Why plane tires don't explode on impact

- Airplane tires are impressive feats of engineering that carry a plane through hard landings, soft landings, and even emergency landings. They bring together the best of science, engineering, and technology to make sure that an airplane’s landings are always safe and secure.
What are these near-magical tires made of and how can they succeed in carrying so much weight? For starters, plane tires are reinforced with aramid, an incredibly strong synthetic fiber known for its heat-resistant properties.
Aramid has a melting point of 932°F (500°C) whereas average rubber begins melting at around 500°F (260°C). This fiber is also resistant to abrasion, which means the tires can stay on a plane for nearly 500 flights.
Plane and regular car tires are also very different in terms of pressure; car tires are commonly filled up to around 30 psi (2 bars while plane tires start at a whopping 200 psi (13.8 bars), making them able to withstand a weight load of up to 38 tons (34.5 tonnes). That’s quite some pressure!
Finally, to make plane tires even more stable, engineers also fill them up with nitrogen. But that’s not all engineers do to ensure plane tires achieve their tasks to perfection.
If you like to know more about how plane tires are so safe and efficient, see up close how they work to near perfection, or are curious about how engineers over the years have made these tires sturdy and resilient, then do not miss this video.

that last statement about how safer it is to ride a plane than your bike as per ratio really convinced me.
I think mortality rate per accident is much higher with the plane than bicycle
@@czer096 yes you're right. but in a commercial or advertisement statement, it is convincing in my opinion 😂
Always present the statistics the way you want the outcome to look
kecelakaan pesawat itu mmg sgt mhebohkan tapi SANGAT JARANG tjadi dibanding kecelakaan motor, itu benar. Lo cari tau aja sendiri korban sepeda motor per hari.
@@nawangwulan1714 pardon? English please?
I had this question since long time, thank you RUclips
Very good explanation.
Sure planes might have lower accident chance than cars or bikes but the chance of survival if said accident happens is also slim.
Nitrogen for aircraft tires is filtered to be free of oxygen and water vapor, which prevents corrosion. Oxygen also leaks through the rubber faster than nitrogen, and pure nitrogen expands less with temperature rise. All of these things matter for aircraft; for your car not so much.
Just perfect explanation, no other word.. make a video on how to replace tires or fix airplanes, cars etc.. I'm just in love with your explanation style
Are there really secrets about airplane tires? Looking at marketing hype, and other taglines that are presented to us, the word "secret" is probably being overused and in instances that are not entirely correct. Another example of this practice is "...this will change your life", or some derivation of that. If anything on the Internet as trivial as most things are and as a reflection of RUclips and other video platforms, they're a seldom anything that's going to change the life course of another person unless it affects a dire medical diagnosis or the like. I would like to see fewer taglines and marketing hype that step away from titillating words and phrases and just speak the truth.
But it still earns a thumbs up for me.
Those last wards were so badass! 😎
"Nothing can go wrong"
*Bird flies into one of the jets engines.......*
That was interesting
Man it's amaaaaaaaaaazing.
This channel is of which country?
I've never taken a plane in my entire life. 😂
Same
Also some planes are designed to have the tires start spining before they come in contact with the ground so to reduce the stress on the tire when they do hit the ground. It is like hitting the ground running.
Uh no they dont...
@@zequilomogamer It would make sense, wouldn’t it?
I've never seen it but long thought it would make sense as well
Hahahahaha, they absolutely DO NOT!!
@@starmc26 For now, they don’t. The question is how reasonable is it to develop a system that would spin the wheeles before landing. Is the reduced impact force worth the development?
Just a question, why are the tires not spun up to rpm before contact!?
A self propelled wheel usually operates at a great slip than towed wheel
Hello! I speak a little English. I don't know what the HOST OF FAIL-SAFES is. I'm wondering if you explain about it. Thanks a lot!
It means that there are many different systems used to prevent the tire from failing.
W-H-A-T-S-O-E-V-E-R-!
Flying is not the SAFEST means of transports, only when you take distance (no of kms). Trains ARE the safest when the yardstick is per journey and not distance.
yeah
This will only possible with full balanced and measurement
Damn..
Because they are designed to withstand extreme heat and friction upon landing
Max will grab F1 championship if he get these tyres 😜
Titanic jack is in thar
Not a secret, especially when said publicly.
Good luck when you’re a technician and you overfill such a tire with nitrogen, making it explode
What the hell are you talking about, you think nitrogen is flammable/combustible? Lol
who told you that there is an impact while landing? just 1.5 g max 2 g.
Still an impact
@@camalex7782 it is a touch more than an impact. impact requires high amount of g.
Cause your mom doesnt ride air transit ?
I'm.. 54 a.n.d m.y. wife 50 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no dept's. Currently living smart and frugal with our money.serving and investing life style in the stock market made it possible for us this early even till now we earn weekly. Thanks to fire movement.
Great job with your wife! I bet you are living your best life right now.
I'm a young dad, I'm really glad to hear your story it inspires me.
What is fire movement please.?
@@jadenethan9412 Fire means Financial Independence Retire Early.
It's been a movement teaching people financial independence and how to retire debt free through solid investment and frugal lifestyle.
@@robertmorris3752 Thanks for replying I will read more about fire movement.
Peduli amat why gini ato why gitu. Sorry yha mental bangsa gw mah mental user aka majikan, bukan mental montir kyk bule2 macem lo 😂😂😂
You fellas do not know even how a Tyre is spelt. Do u want to teach us about tyres?
