Bought many Michelin tires in 40 years. Motorcycles, sports cars, minivans. Never disappointed, they were at the upper price range but handled the best and were good against punctures. All were made in their own factories not outsourced like a lot of big brands do now. I have Michelin defender T&H on my honda odyssey now, best you can get for that application.
5 min tyre manufacturing and 10 min other plane stuff.
If you’ve ever landed in an airliner, thank the people who designed, and fabricated these marvels. It’s unreal the amount of force these tires have to endure during their short life.
I am thinking we at A/A were getting around 200-230 landings out of our Good Year tires and the max retread was 2-3 not sure on that part
20,000 hours on wing is pretty exceptional for an engine. You may want to check your numbers. 300,000 hours is about 34 years.
It's closer to 3000 hours.
I went directly to comments after hearing that 300,000 number to see if anyone else was shocked to hear such a large number. That can’t be correct.
I was thinking the same thing, that's seems extreme... and if that's the case Amtrak Rock's!!
300,000??
Their life is a small fraction of that
You think fact checking is their priority?
300,000 flight hours on the 787 engine cannot be correct. Aircraft are typically retired at less than 100,000 hours. My guess is 40,000-60,000 hours top on an engine. We changed our engines every 20,000 hours or less
They must be using Toyota engines.
@@Robert-cu9bm GE, Pratt and Rolls-Royce

Gone over your head... Toyota makes engines that last, and known for their reliability (300,000) it was a joke.
Yeah I agree. One zero too many in her narration.
34 years between service 😇
Am I the only one who noticed that flawless landing from the C-17? (0:36) Now that was smooth.
As an exercise in exacting design and manufacture, the landing gear mechanisms for large aircraft are things of beauty. Totally under appreciated by most of the flying public. That 777 main gear assembly seen at 07:37 is, in my view, a work of technological art.
Not just art. Stopping something that large without completely melting is a feat of unimaginable engineering.
300,000 hours between engine rebuilds is longer than most aircraft can be expected to fly!
Shes mistaken. I'm an aircraft mechanic for United and before I left their oldest airplane was a 757 with 120k hours.
Well let’s see…40 hrs a week x 52 weeks in a year=2080 hrs.
300,000 % 2080= 144 yrs. Sounds spot on to me.
Google does confirm it can cost up to $6000 for a single commercial plane tyre and even less depending on which plane tyre. Seeing planes have between 6 to 18 tyres, it really adds up really fast.
that must be in the UK. in the USA we don't have tyres. : )
@@garystewart3110yeah wondered what they meant. Was it tires? Then just say so. Youd think they put engines under their boots in the UK, how silly. When are they going to learn proper English? Oh wait...
Wow , I hope the tires last forever! Biden prices emerging!
@@johnlucier5654,. Yes, the Americans cleaned up their English!
@@sjt66 No they didn't they use American ( that isn't by definition English)
I'd love to have had one of these cushy looking aviation industry jobs in France. Looks like highly secure and well paid work.
Given that it is almost impossible to fire anyone in France, I am sure it is highly secure.
@ 10:30 it Says;
Engine Over-Haul After 300,000 Flight Hours,
Can't Be,
300,000 Hours =
24 Hours / Day
x 365 Days / Year
x ~ 34 1/2 Years of Continuous Usage = NO Way !
Prior to retiring, I spent 40 years in aviation as both a maintenance technician and pilot and the 300,000 hours between overhauls got my attention too. I think whoever wrote the script for her to read needs to go back and check the engine specs ...
I’m glad somebody else picked up on that mistake as well
Using retreads is how you get road alligators on the highway.
It's good that we, the public are allowed to see the strenuous testing of Landing Gear for Aircraft on Videos like this, it gives People the confidence to get on an Aircraft & get off safely, but it still beggars belief that Planes the size of the Ukraine's Antonov, Boeing's 777 etc can take-off & land with Tons of Cargo time & time again with ease, very good Video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I remember we had problems with retreads from two different manufacturers for medium sized aircraft. We had to collect the damaged wheel sets and ship them to each manufacturer. I think in the end the DOM insisted on no more retreads. It was pretty costly as the tires were not high on cycles and sometimes damaged wheel assys and brakes.
Captain's log and aircraft log are two different things..aircraft logs stay with the plane...the captain takes his log with him
Every good chef wants to be recognised by a tyre manufacturer.
Airplanes are something very special.
10:52 The more comfort people seek, the harder they have to work. We work hard, hard, hard. Still, there is no end. Another engine replacement, another repair.
I am impressed by footage from a Michelin plant. Michelin prefers to keep their information very confidential.
I wonder how many Stars their cafeteria has.
@@Robert-cu9bm Good one ☝️
the biggest difference by Michelin is the internal structure, and whe did see nothing from...
Serviced or replaced every 3000 take off and land cycles. this is about 4/5 years flight time, but they do have minor maintenance and services in between.
One Tyre cost $6000
Passengers should be thankful and spend well
This video is full of inaccuracies
thank you
HAPPY NEW YEARS 2023/................
It is not a hydraulic press it is a hydraulic jack!
300'000 flight hours or operating hours, isn't it a little bit too much for a tire who last maximum 3'000 to 5'000 hours?
I believe the 300,000 hrs refers to engines -- which seems like an awful lot of time to me.
No theyre incredibly advanced they said. Good for 5,000,000,000,000 years.
Routinely they check those every 10k hours or like 3k cycles, give or take depending on a plane. With expendables replaced like pumps and so on. 2 years should be fair to say.
300,000 flight hours for engines. 😳 I don’t think so.
Sure engine overall every 34 years sounds good. 😂
The way she says goodbye 🥰
salamat sairport nga ang ligid kay lambogini piro super dako parihas sa airplane hahahaha salamat kaayo.
Best type of tyre ever!!! Just 4 planes
Vielen Dank allen Mitarbeitern an Kompetenz Arbeitsplätzen Zufrieden haben können bitteschön Betrachten Wertigkeit für Menschheit Qualifiziert Lebensmitteln brauchen immer Labors Institutionen Checken für Cremme Füllungen haben
Very interesting. Nice to learn about Aviation especially if you mechanically minded
@11:11 "The engine is certified for 300,000 flight hours" huh !! That's 34 years in the air , cant be right ..
It's incredible !
وأخيرا أين نحن العرب من هؤلاء الناس ؟!!!
rock in roll to the world time out to work na ngayon alas 6 na ang time na ko. dre sa computer system
11:09 300,000 hours if ran 24/7 would be 34 years. 🤔?
Yea, that has to be a mistake
So without trees we wouldn't have planes, since rubber comes from trees.
Did anyone remember seeing these massive tires at the Pentagon on 911 ?
How about the 2 giant 10 foot engines ?
How about the 2 giant airplane wings ?
How about the airplane fuselage ?
Any dead bodies ?
That's because it was a missle that hit the Pentagon fired from an American Air Force Pilot flying an American Air Force Plane !
Where exactly did hijackers get a missle when all they had was box cutters ?
looks like this woman was given one job. Just to read. Ended up saying the wrong flight hours. :d
Louisville used to have one of the biggest aircraft tire maintenance facilities in the United States. Hundreds of workers changing airplane tires all day.
But the Aircraft Maintenance Union would protect even the laziest employees. Finally, the customers got so tired of the Union that they moved the company to Brazil. One guy told me that you didn’t even have to do anything at the company. Just show up.
I’m live in Louisville. I know about that company. I think they still have a small facility over in Riverport. Unions are job killers.😢
Thank you!
Fascinating 👍👏
@6:40, the yellow structure to test the landing gearat Heroux Devtek, i built them when i was working in the Metal fabrication industry.
This was a great documentary. Learned a lot.
Neat video. But thought this was about the tires?
Hi technology
Disassembly of a 777 engine looks fun
A great video - extremely informative . . . . thank you! 😎
I don't believe the engine rebuild hours is correct (around time stamp 10:20) as 300,000 hours is a little over 34 years, when planes are looking at retirement. I'd hope the engines were rebuilt more frequently.
Exalant
Thank for sharing my friend ❤
Excelent.
I was a crew member on C 141s In the Air Force .. 20.000 hrs was about it for a jet transport . 300.0000 hrs .. ?? That was the days of Columbus.. pay attention to the facts your given lady.
Yes it's numeric dyslexia (whatever that's called)
2:49 Looks so satisfying
Класс 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 я из Узбекистан👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I really enjoyed this video!😀
Thanks you so much 💕😊👍🙏❤️💟☺️🥰
Each engine weighs 8.5 tonnes. Imagine the thrust it needs to provide just to lift itself. Then add the fuselage wings a hoard of people and jet fuel

If they use Michelin tyres, they should fix a Michelin Man to the front of the fuselage. "tyres should be "switched out"? "changed", surely
That must be fun job
Making a new one everytime somebody crashes lol 😂
Thank you.
Worked for a tire company for 40 years...never sold a tyre.
I worked as a helo mech for 5 years and $6000 sounds too low of a price for some reason. Some very basic "aviation grade" equipment/hardware easily exceeds that cost
Wow........amazing 😱
You would think that she would know the difference between a tyre and a wheel.
Awesome video
For some reason I imagined the tires would cost a lot more.
Never understood why they dont make a tread pattern that would make them spin in flowing air even if only half of the ground speed... still would be a drastic difference!
to heavy, would cost more to operate then it saves. is one. unbalance, vibrations disturbance from airflow are a few others rom spinning wheels
Touching down safely is far more important. As such the treads are designed with the biggest threat in mind, aquaplaning. The cost of replacing a tyre is pennies compared to losing control. Or not being able to stop/ rolling off the runway.
Formidável 👏👏👍👏👏👍👍👏👍
I don't think there is an aircraft engine out there that will go 300.000 hrs. between overhaul as stated in this article.
A Toyota one.
@@Robert-cu9bm A Toyota one though it is not an aircraft turbin engine will not go anywhere near 300.000 hours good try .
They surly made a mistake. Those 300.000 hours on the engines should be minutes, that are 5000 hours
Michelin is the best tyre of the world.👍
10:20 300,000 flight hours? Maybe 3,000 flight hours certainly not 300,000 hours.
The tyres must pass our rigorous leak detection test.. soap. We prefer dawn.
If someone comes in and doesn't feel like doing they job to the Fullest Game Over.
If they had a device that spun the tires to the same speed as the plane when landing, the tires would probably last twice as long.
Don’t you think if it was possible, or that theory would work, They Would…..? Lmao
@m r when the wheels hit the runway and you see that smoke coming off them, that causes a 'flat spot' You only have to watch a F1 race to see how bad that is for a tire. A simple electric motor can rotate the wheel to match the speed of the landing plane, thus eliminating 'flat spot' at the point when the wheel hits the runway?
@@mr-js9is don’t waste your time. He’s just a low life troll.
@@rick928 the angular momentum of the spinning wheels would mess up the control of the plane
@@ayanaalemayehu2998 it is the gyro effect of the wheels
That airbus Beluga is addorable
waw amazing exelent
200psi in one of those tires!
OK so they got the hours between engine changes wrong so get over it, pretty good informative vid apart from that.
My mother in law looks like the michelin man
They also make tyres for bicycles to
It looked like he was picking a lock to get in haha
Great video.
Mantap mase kren semangat
Ty.
That's a lot of money cash. Tires are very important for a plane.
The tires are kinda plane looking.
Michelin makes bicycle tires too.
B 52 ,s are 70 years old and might have 30.000 hrs on there airframe
- why don't they spin the tires up to speed before landing?
-you could do it with such a tiny little motor
- then you wouldn't have the tires wear out as fast, and you wouldn't have to scrape clean the runway / runway lights all the time
The weight of the equipment and cost would not be worth it. And more mechanical failure points, those wheels weigh hudreads of lbs. A motor to get them up to speed would need to be huge, and one per a wheel, 16 wheels and 2 forward wheels.
The added cost of maintenance and weight would cost more than just replacing the tyres
Landing safely is the priority. Furthermore, most ware on the wheel is done when taxiing on the ground, not necessarily from the landing
Airless tired should of been used for this application already . Tires are obsolete and the cost is too high besides not being environmental friendly 🚫 🍃 ♻️
Why is a video titled around tires spending the other 3/4 of the time talking about seats, engines, and other unrelated things? Kinda odd
300,000 flight hours? 34 years? Shurely shome mishtake?
What are Plane Tyres? Are they related to Plane Tires?
