6/ Ultimately, aircraft design is about ruthless efficiency. While the puff of smoke and burning rubber looks dramatic, sacrificing a bit of tire tread is the safest, lightest, and most economical way to land a plane. ✈️✅
Why don't airplanes spin their wheels before touchdown? 🛬
Plane tires hit the runway at 150+ mph, skidding and burning rubber. Pre-spinning them seems like a no-brainer to reduce friction, right? Here’s why aerospace engineers don’t do it. 🧵👇#Aerospace#Engineering
5/ The "Bump" is Actually Useful! 💥
That sudden jolt tells the pilots they are firmly on the ground. The drag compresses the gear struts, triggering sensors that tell the plane's computers to deploy wing spoilers and allow thrust reversers to engage.
@HPCL Mahalaxmi Petroleum on Haliyal Road, #Dharwad, is charging ₹112.59/ litre for petrol, even though there has been no official price hike announced. This appears to be highly irregular.
