Trailer Tires Overheating.

The brakes on transport category aircraft are certified to stop the aircraft on the runway remaining after a rejected takeoff at the highest speed it would still be on the ground (V1) without using thrust reversers. Thrust reversers provide little braking at high speeds anyway. Rick The brakes *will* stop the plane at V1. Other than that, there may be problems. The company I work for sells parts for "retriever kits." They use these kits to recover aircraft after they deploy the brakes during an aborted takeoff. The heat from the brakes soak into the tires and cause various problems. See: http://www.maxwell.af.mil/msd/pubs/maxins/32-2004.pdf Note 4.3.4, time to tire failure after emergency braking operation is about 12 to 15 minutes. Mark Browne |
