Incredible stuff! It really makes you appreciate the engineering of these tyres. From the flat spots upon touch down to the loading under the full weight of the plane... and repeat over and over and over again. If only Pirelli made Formula 1 tyres as durable.

This is absolutely awesome.. camera mounting has been so stable.. no shakes and jitters.. Wish one could also see the motion of the shockers while landing..

[@jordillach3222]

It's amazing how often our passengers get two or more landings for the price of only one :-) 1:30

[@JERRYinCHS]

Jordi- T&C noted. I expect you know that none of these landings is what a Boeing/Airbus/Fokker engineer would be consider a firm landing. A few showed initial contact followed by a second. The worse of them would be called a "shallow skip". This happens when the sink rate is near zero and minor flight path or runway grade variations cause more than one runway contact. A bounce is when the aircraft hits the runway with enough vertical energy to cause it to briefly climb before settling again. Either way, it's some damned good video!

[@brianzak]

I enjoyed this and im not even tired

[@Leuel48Fan]

Really cool! I wonder if they could design little electrical motors to pre-spin the tires to minimize wear, cuz alot of rubber burns for a small time as the wheel-speed catches up with the ground speed of the airplane!

[@Rsmith600]

I wa thinking the same, or maybe some sort of blades on the wheels so they prespin with the wind during their approach.

[@CallsignVega]

The motor system's cost and weight wouldn't outweigh the cost savings of the rubber. Remember those wheel spin up motors would be flying millions of miles in an aircraft's lifespan, costing fuel and is also a maintenance item.

[@Visionery1]

+Callsign Vega, I used to wonder the same, then came to the same conclusion as you.

[@Kevin-yh8ol]

Add a chain system, one wheel spins and it moves the rest

[@readmore3634]

if the wheels were to pre-spin to the rate of say 150 knots(170 MPH) it would cause a gyro effect and make the plane much less maneuverable during crosswind corrections..... gyros don't know the wind is blowing...they just fight to stay str8.................just my best guess

[@SEThatered]

This is a lot of dedicated camerawork. Thank you, it look amazing!!!

[@anavgeekspassion5727]

0:45 that is in slow mo and it looked hard I can't even imagine how hard that would've been in real life

[@gvilla98]

You really want to be focus on the first compression of the oleo strut and it's rate of travel - and on that regard, these landings aren't neither butter nor hard.

[@chrlzislime]

0:45 those wheels bounce like a blob xD

[@UnusualAttitudes]

I’ve worked in and around heavy aircraft landing gear for a long time & never realized the beating they take on EVERY landing, good and bad!

[@ats-3693]

Wow this is a surprisingly awesome video, I'm actually wishing it was longer....

[@JERRYinCHS]

Great video! I miss the 75 even more now. That jet built up a nice ground cushion. I think it's the easiest plane to consistently roll on (of course getting the de-rotation and nose-gear touchdown was another story).

[@MrAaron2409]

I dont know why but I just love watching stuff like this.

[@PlanesAndGames732]

Still more satisfying than any other "satisfying" video, especially the bigger planes with multiple wheels!

this is really cool to see the touchdown and then watch the struts take up the landing load of the plane.

[@Ratzfourtyfour]

[@daanishabduldayanshaikh1861]

Just love the way they bounce !!!!!!!!!!!!! Will with it again again again again again again again

[@Summitspeedfly]

While many of these look like bounced landings, as the wheels touch and then leave ground again, they aren't bounces at all. Instead, they are VERY smooth landings. In a bounced landing, the struts would bottom out, then extend again. But on many of these you see the struts remain extended, until the wheels spin-up enough to activate the auto ground-spoilers, at which time you see the weight of the aircraft settle heavily onto the struts and fully compress them. Interesting to see how much shimmy and vibration there is before the full weight of the aircraft settles onto the landing gear.

[@rcairflr]

Just for your information: Weight on Wheels is NOT when the wheels touch the ground.

[@ag6371]

@@rcairflr That's when the pressure relief valve opens and the actuator collapses

[@rcairflr]

@@ag6371 > WoN Wheels is an electrical signal. There are Proximity sensors on each gear. When the strut collapses enough, the sensors mate and send a signal to LRU that reads the Proximity signal.

[@JackpodyDK]

I've always wondered - don't planes get flat spots on the tires when the tires are static and hit the moving ground? I mean it has to work, I'm purely wondering about the physics behind this.

[@andrewanane9715]

Nice video, I love it!!

[@timmayer8723]

Electrics motors were tested during WW2 to pre spin the main landing gear on fighter planes. The weight and complexity of the systems couldn't be engineered out. Also a failure of either main gear electric motor sent the plane into a deadly crab landing attitude. Most of the test planes crashed . It is cheaper to replace the tires than to replace a severely damaged fighter plane and possibly kill a highly trained pilot.

[@konstantin88181]

It was an invention back in 80s in Soviet Union. They put some scoops on sides of thr wheels so they began to spin as soon as gear goes down to prevent tires over wearing on a touchdown. It didn't caught on, don't know why.
