Blowing Up an Airplane Tire | I Didn't Know That

[@Alobeta]

"im not gonna miss this" - continues to keeps looking away every chance he gets

[@foxtrot789]

seriously, I just kept thinking 'well he's gonna miss it, moron'.

[@Kharnellius]

@@foxtrot789 Same! And we called it, lol.

[@nickyp2627]

Who else is watching this after the Delta incident?

[@joshjosh575]

Sounds like DEI was using air to fill the tire.

[@Tate_Cunningham]

They were splitting the wheel half not over inflating it. The scenario was much different

[@jasonpfannenstiel9315]

⁠was it confirmed they were splitting the wheel with air still in the tire?

[@M0DiFiEDZ]

I'm glad that guy missed the explosion. He was not determined enough. If you say your going to do something you need to follow through with it.

[@sarahm.x2136]

the testing process gives me anxiety attack lol

[@carlosgarnica1850]

I can't believe he put his bare hands into the explode tire . I once had a car tire that shredded, and there were sharp pieces of metal wire sticking out.

[@Stacy_Smith]

We used aircraft tires on supertrailers at a steel mill. 3 axles 6 singles. Carried payloads up to 240,000lbs.

[@KartKing4ever]

Finally a worth while video.

[@PERSOGECKO]

Love this demoniac laugh @ 3:13

[@hotelloveta9758]

the one of million videos i need to know.. thanks for create this one.

[@GregoryJohnDavidson]

At 3:06 the narration and the laughter sounds like a horror movie.

You know youve been watching too much on cars if you recognize the narrator's voice.

Hevylifter did, what is known in some circles, as making a joke. I understand if it passed you by. A joke is an incredibly technical piece of linguistic equipment. It's not the sort of thing that everyone can handle. To develop a sense of humour and an ability to understand jokes takes many, many years of university education. The ability to make jokes is something almost lost to the mists of time. We are in a presence of a rare individual. We may not understand him, but we must respect him.

[@krrrruptidsoless]

The test of bursting while inflating and rotating was the most interesting test they performed in this vid. It showed the possible shrapnel damage and the most likely areas to beef up on a plane to disinherit damage on both the take off and landing. Fantastic. That physical emotion response performed at 2:59 and into 3:00 was a bit sissyfied looking. 3:47 This tire proved that IT had the strength to deal with the extreme situations. But they blew it up. The next one they build could be flawed

[@TimJSwan]

That's why they can do two types of tests: ones which are expected to damage the tire and ones which are not. You can test for something's maximal load until it breaks and you can also test a production unit to within specifications which you expect do not put much wear and tear on the unit but which also may expose an iteration flaw in that particular unit. Don't ask me why I know this, I don't have any experience testing real tires. I just used logic and assume that might be how they do things.

[@TimJSwan]

"more than 4 times their operational safety limits" so 800+ psi and 2585.93 fahrenheit (multiplied the kelvin form of their reported temp to 4x to get that number)

[@17hmr243]

right now im off to bush my teeth

[@17hmr243]

a very articulate sentence, i agree with all the arguments you put forward

[@jakeanthony7672]

Fierce Firefly did you brush them

[@17hmr243]

@@jakeanthony7672 still didnt help.

[@anmol3457]

well have you brushed them now ?

[@sankyppp]

One of my fav shows.

[@KjetilBalstad]

For those curious, the reason they use water instead of air is because air unlike water compresses. Thus they could fill considerable more air into the tire than water, which would expand explosively when the tire burst.

[@danielmorris6523]

Concorde was a very safe aircraft but if it did have an achilles heel it would have to be the tyres. Due to the altitude that Concorde would fly at (up to 60,000 ft) the tyres had to handle more extreme pressures than other traditional airliners. Concorde also landed much faster, so the tyres had to handle more stress when landing. They didn't mention in this video that normal tyres in your car are filled with air whereas on aircraft they are filled with nitrogen. This is because nitrogen won't leak through the rubber and it also maintains a steadier pressure at different altitudes. The crash of the Concorde in 2003 was partly due to Air France not fitting skis to protect the underside of the wings in the event of a tyre blowout as British Airways had done to their fleet of Concordes after learning the tyres were more likely to blow.

[@nitrodavid]

the hard part of the job is using Engineering and maths to first calculate what they expect would be the breaking pressure, and then prove and justify that through experiments like this one

[@traingp7]

3:09 THE MONEY SHOT!

[@BIGSNAKE16]

I'm not going to miss this. Ooops!

[@pr0v3n]

"Is there anyway we can fill one with custard?". That is probably the most British thing I have ever heard...

[@trumpfan7139]

Don't think I'd like tasting rubber though.

[@superpoluha1]

pretty weird comment section

[@Windowguy252]

[@davide333forzaAC]

they are FAR too excited! hahaha

[@epicrafter924boss6]

‘Now, Let’s fill it up to the brim with custard!!’

[@hevylifter]

they have to blow up every tire before they use it just to make sure.

[@cesar201153]

Dunlop is what my Saab is rolling on right now

[@zxcvbnmjfjf]

Every new type of tire, must be tested in this method for safity issues.

[@Texas06Exige]

Is the narrator Vicki Butler from 5th Gear?

[@azizk339]

Texas06Exige I'm almost certain it's her, yeah.

[@blondemario]

Custard? Am I a joke to you?

[@michellewiggins4295]

Their are several different modes of test results including sidewall blows.

[@abc123escapeme]

[@user-ql1kb3qy7h]

WOW

[@beastventura]

he actually missed the most importantl moment despite the pre warning that this is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity...lol u guys r grt, awsome blow but it wont be that hard again after the burst so as to witstand tons of aircraft will it ???

[@SmithsRichard]

I was feeling paranoid while watching this.

[@xXJeReMiAhXx99]

sorry but the first modern warfare call of duty 4 and those before it were pretty damn good.

[@MannyMambit0]

They have dirty bombs...this is the clean bomb (filled with air of course).

[@sabrisamsofficial]

Can you imagine how the aeroplane tire replace to the domestic car😂

[@KC-fb8ql]

What?

[@Rainer67059]

"They carry weight similar to the tyres of the largest earth movers, but at the speed of a formula one car." Airoplanes fly faster than they run on the runway. Airoplanes are the fastest mode of transport. They're meant to be faster than any ground transport when high up in the air. But if rolling airoplanes are the fastest thing on the ground, earth vehicle manufacturers make something wrong.

[@IISNiPESHOTx]

What an easy job

[@Demoniiiic]

for some people on youtube its a real job for them and they get payed extremely well sooooo...

[@abrarbaig6166]

When they showed the tire exploding I was literally like what in the world did I just see I think it was edited

[@CROMassa]

now its ready for use

[@IISNiPESHOTx]

yes

[@MyCatInABox]

Narrator sounds like Vicki Butler Henderson

[@CloudchaserShaconag]

That gut on the right at the beginning isn't helping to dispel the stereotype of the Brits having bad teeth

[@mcreadan]

Why not spinning the wheels before landing to reduce tire wear?

[@MegaStupidMonkeys]

danny rubin Then you need additional motors to spin the wheels. The added weight alone might cost more due to increased fuel consumption.

[@vestrevekk]

Honda use dunlop tires. They know what they are doing.

[@SamSung-fs1jh]

Someone is putting fire in the airplane

[@yabasta13]

blimey!!

[@SickenedSparrow]

its crazy that the hose filling the tire can hold up to the pressure also.

[@bernard240vdc]

The hose is way smaller than the tire so can wthithstand pressure easier also probably a hydraulic hose those can easely handle several thousand PSI

[@DudeRevolution]

You are what most would call 'old'.
