These intros are starting to be like the Top Gear intro. In this episode of Cap Joe: Joe sticks his finger in a wheel, An MD-11 lands too softly, And an MD-80 is mechanically related to a bicycle.
I've never paid much attention to the tires of a plane look like, but next time I'm at the airport, I'll stand near the wheels, observe them nicely and.... Then get dragged away by the airport security team. Lol 😅😁
Navy guys do the same thing....you land on a carrier like you mean it. Delta Airlines used to hire mostly from the Navy. The joke on a hard landing was to ask if the pilot had just got out of the Navy?
After 30 years in aviation maintenance, it's *FINALLY* been explained why the tread profile is important. Never has anyone or any manual been able to explain the reasons why the tread has been designed this way- or not another way, like hi-po automotive tire designs. I've always wondered- if Goodyear can make Gatorbacks or whatever to work in the rain, why not make airplane tires like that. Capt. Joe explains it perfectly. Thank you!
Usually major airlines have some mix of insurance and self-insurance. They may insure against a hull-loss and/or passenger injury/death, but anticipate that a bent wingtip from an inattentive fuel truck driver is just a cost of doing business that they cover themselves. Lots of big companies work this way - my Fortune 10 employer has a rule against insuring any individual object worth less than $10K... they’ve done the math and figured out that across the entire business it’s cheaper to just plan to occasionally plan to replace such broken/lost items than it is to insure against those outcomes. When you’re big enough that having the cash on hand is no longer a problem, your risk calculation changes. As to who provides it... lots of the insurance brands you’re familiar with will have commercial underwriting arms that handle big ticket items for corporations. There are also firms that specialize in this like Lloyds of London and AIG. What’s even more bizarre is that some insurance companies carry what’s called “re-insurance” which is basically insurance against their insurance. No one insures tires, though. They’re “consumables” and airlines anticipate burning through however many of them a year.
Anyone loves the intro? Now I see why they straight lines on the tires always wondered, learned a lot! This is a number one TH-cam channel for aviation lovers!
Captain Joe, as always you do an amazing job of explaining technical matters in a way layman can understand. Having followed F1 for a while (and Hamilton fan!!) of course I understand the layman version of tire technology. What you brought to the table today is "positive landing" and "don't flatspot by soft landing or brakes" and "we don't want our tires worn down to be slicks." All great stuff. Ehud Gavron FAA CPL-H Tucson AZ US
Well done Capt Joe. I was a landing gear engineer for a major airline for 33 yeas and the tires were a major part of my responsibility. The grooves in the tires certainly help reduce hydroplaning but adding the 1/4 X 1/4 inch runway grooving played the major role in reducing hydroplaning. As an added note, we started using nitrogen to inflate the tires because of tire explosions. If the brakes got hot enough, the oxygen in the air and solvents from the tire. would explode. We actually had a 727 pilot taxiing up and down the runway trying to burn off the fog. Using the brakes to slow the airplane they became extremely hot enough to cause the tires to explode.. The wire tire beads were wrapped around the landing gear strut. Later on, another airline had a tire explosion in the wheel well which eventually mandated using nitrogen. Please keep up the good work.
During college I worked for an airline tire shop....here is Phoenix AZ where the temp on tarmack can reach 140 degrees.....melting tires all the time, and yeh it was crazy to see.
@@NiHaoMike64 They have them. It's called the "Anti-skid System" :) It's too expensive for smaller planes though, so only the bigger, newer planes (or more expensive planes) have them. Wait for the next video :)
Hey Captian Joe! I have one question. When you record in the room with the 3 model planes behind you, could you put the link to buy those planes? I really like the models that you showcase and want to get some of them. Thanks! Keep up the good work!
As a mechanic, I am amazed by how many pilots I've dealt with who performed the walk around and "check the tires" but to this day I have not seen one check sidewalls for damage.
When i was young, in my teens and 20s we used to send our A-4s to the carrier. We would inflate the mains to something like 425 lbs of Dry Nitrogen and the nose to something like 365. For shore based it was along the lines of 300 and 250. Irregardless the pressures were incredible. I started in Naval Aviation in 77 and ended the summer of 90. Its been a long time but this is pretty close. It takes alot of pressure to withstand rotational acceleration forces from 0 to 165 kts nearly instantly while simultaneously many thousands of pounds slaming down, hard, and not always perpendicular to the direction of travel. Aircraft tires are amazing pieces of engineering. Then when wore out they are recapped and sent out again. Each tire has a limit on the number of times they can be recapped. But if there is no carcass damage they can be recapped several times. They are an exercise in excellence. Thank you.
I'm not even studying aeronautics or anything but can i just say, that the fact that you literally can learn everything from youtube and you can literally make everything content material as long as you know how to make it into a video. This is so educational .
Hi Joe! I've been watching your videos since 2017, and you continue to amaze me with every video release. Watching your videos inspired me to pursue a masters in Aerospace Engineering. I have the deepest respect for you. Look forward to more of your videos! :)
Wow, the airplane tires look huge when you're standing next to them like that! I actually wondered recently how big they are, because I've only ever seen them at a distance. They look so small compared to some of the big aircraft they're attached to, but so big when there's a human standing next to them!
Hi Joe, thanks for the awesome videos. Lot of clarity and details in your explanation. Respect! Could you please make some videos on the following topics? I would like to hear the answers from you. 1. Aircraft leasing 2. Lifespan of an aircraft and what happens after they retire a certain fleet 3. Some interesting details on technical rivalries between Boeing and Airbus (can be made as a series if possible). 4.

In the last few years i have seen your videos i have learned so much and the people in my school even think im weird because i know that much about planes and how they work i really appreciate your videos and the affort u put into them.
Hello Captain, i just want to say that as an aviation enthusiast i find your channel very entertaining, interesting and i just love it, in my opinion is the best aviation channel in all TH-cam platform. I have one request, i don't know if you already did a video about this, if not, could you please explain how to read airport charts and/or approaching charts? Thank you so much for your time. Greetings from Perú 🇵🇪 😊
I've been in the airline industry for over 10 years working below the wing. I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from them. But I have never seen a video like yours that goes into detail on everything that happens below the wing during a turn. There is so much that a lot of people don't even realize or know why it's happening.
I had the same question for Joe. TREAD is correct word for that tire element. I have been hearing more references to tire THREAD lately. Somehow it has gotten into the lexicon without being corrected.
I agree with you two gentlemen. I don’t know if it’s Joe’s accent and the way he pronounces the words or if he is confused between the words thread and tread.
You are right of course but he has been calling the tyre tread (as in tread pattern) the tyre profile through the whole vid up to this moment. In my opinion, he should have been using the words tread pattern all along because (in English tyre parlance) the profile has nothing to do with the tread at all but refers to the aspect ratio of the tyre (tyre sidewall height against sidewall width expressed as a percentage) which is known as the tyre profile (ever heard the term "low profile tyres"?) and thus he confuses things from the start.
I worked at An aircraft maintenance company (responsible for landing gear and airframe related components) for some time (administrative), and i was taught something completely different. The smallest craft we worked on was the A320 and the lines on the tire have nothing to do with getting rid of water. The plane is way too heavy to worry about water buildup. It pushes water out of the way just fine. The only reason is to be able to check for wear on the tire and how even the wear is. But then again, maybe i talked to someone who had no idea.
So.... two questions: (forgive my ignorance - I am an amateur enthusiast) 1. Minor rocks, debris can still get stuck in parallel grooves, right? What happens to plane when they do? Is this different from effects of being stuck in diagonal, horizontal grooves? 2. What is the purpose of the little rubber “hairs” on new tires?
Model aviator checking in. Lovely video. Has definitely steered my choice in tires for my RC airplanes to reflect what full scale aviation uses. IT makes little difference with them on a performance standpoint since we don't fly off wet runways anyway, but it's nice to know what tread profile to use. Most of my planes should have the straight grooves, certain warbirds should have the diamond tread but only if the 1:1 had it, bush planes get ballooney slicks.
Congrats for the excellent video, interesting and very well explained. I didn't know this channel before, and it was a pleasant discovery. I have to thank you for having included in the notes below the video the reference to my youtube channel and to that of my friends/collaborators regarding the piece of footage we own and used in your video. Best Regards 😉
Thank you so much for the detailed technical videos! As an A.M.T in training, these kinds of videos are a huge help to understaning the textbooks! Waiting for the anti-skid and maybe how aircraft breaks even look like and work(?) Cheers!
I was expecting Captain Joe to say, "Flying a plane is just like riding a bicycle... It's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes..." LOL
My dad was a career A&P mechanic for two major airlines. The 727 nose wheel also has (since some are still flying) the “chin” you mention. Our driveway when I was a kid was marked by a 707 tire that he brought home after a severe lockup (it didn’t roll at all!)
Thanks for your explanation...really loved it...my love for aircraft started with the day I started watching your video...please keep posting such videos :D
@@christophercook723 What you typed was not plain English. It looks like you tried to type your thoughts as fast as possible and forgot all forms of sentence structure and punctuation. Regarding the rest of your comment, "America" can be used to refer to the USA because the continent is not called America, it's North America.
Interesting commentary... I recall our civilian flight line crew at KHOP helping change a tire on one of the charter Omni Air birds and have noticed the tread patterns before but never gave it much thought, even after beginning my private license. Thanks for sharing... Always like picking up new information (especially the tire shoulder design... never saw that before).
I did a soft landing at Manchester in a Viscount in the 1970s. It decapitated all four main wheel tyres like taking the top off a boiled egg and they deflated on the runway. We blocked the runway for a couple of hours. When we looked at the destroyed tyres, the rubber had been scalded and was just flaking away in granules. Nice explanation.
I am not a pilot....I have no intention of becoming one....but for some reason one of your vids showed up on my feed and I love them. Thank you for these very informative videos. I have learned a lot.
You are right. It's because the original designs the DC-10 and A340-200 are build with the usual gear design. Over time the planes evolved and heavier versions were developed. At some point they needed more wheels to accomodate the weight and more structure for the load to be supported. And as you cannot add any wheels to the usual landing gear without a major redesign of the structure itself or you may need not only the wheels but also the gear to support the loads, you end up with the only reasonable option of a center main gear. Nothing you would initially design into an airframe. On a sidenote: The A320 has an option for a double bogie gear instead of the usual single bogie. Air India has flown this option for some routes to airfield with poor runway surfaces.
Great information, Cap'n. On terminology, it is tire tread, not thread; tire chine, not chin. The heat damage done to a tire by hydroplaning is called rubber reversion.
Yes it can, but a flat tire on a Lear jet not so much, I went off the runway. I had a flat tire on a 737,757, G-4 & FA-900 & landed safely with no problems.
My son is an aviation enthusiast and he has watched every captain joe video and learned a lot.... Now he knows many many many things.... He says that he can fly an aeroplane now....
Hey CaptainJoe, you should definitely collab with Kelsey from 74 Gear as he also flies a 747 for a cargo company and it would be really fun to see both of you talk about aviation. Keep up the good work!
Me ( absolutely not a pilot, I want to learn to fly tho): watches lots of videos that do with planes The TH-cam algorith: hmmmm, must be an aviator Me: what, I’m 14 TH-cam TH-cam: idgaf
Great as usual, but a minor quibble. You mentioned a video about 747 tires and pointed to a link in the corner of the display. But the link was displayed for only a few seconds. I wanted to watch the rest of this video, and was hoping to find that link in the video description. Not there. Please include that link in the video description. Thank you.
Good to see you again! I just realized how much effort you have to exercise to produce a new video as informative and meaningful as this and all others. Keep up the good work sir!
The maximum grip is with slick tyres on bitumen - cars & aircraft included - but when it starts to rain you have to swap the slicks for tyres with tread (not thread... 😉). On a race car, swapping tyres is no big deal; on a 747 it’s a big deal, therefore you need the tyres that give the best performance in the dry but will also work in the wet. If it never rained, the best tyres would be slick tyres with no grooves at all.
captain joe we want to learn why PIA FLIGHT PK 8303 CRASH , why ATC did not alert the pilot about landing gear was not down ? why approach was handling the landing and not ATC in this specific case? plane landings and takeoff who's responsibility ATC or Approach? what difference between ATC and Approach.? if pilot forgot to put down landing gear why ATC or approach did not alert the pilots?
My dear Capt. Joe: ........ I wish you see this comment and respond asap. Question: Can you comment on the latest crash of PIA flight PK8303 in Pakistan involving A320 ?? . The airline story goes as: "The plane landed without gears downed for some reason, the left engine first hit the runway and skidded for a thousand feet then the right engine also hit the runway and skidded alike, belly didn't hit the ground, ...... then pilot took off back to go around. Some plane spotter took the picture showing the "Burn Marks due to skidding at the bottom of engines. During the go around the gears were downed but both engines failed because they had hit the ground. and the plane in landing position hit the houses 1 km short of runway tip. " . My observation is that the cowling of both engines looks perfectly round without a dent !!!!! ... there are black lines at the bottom of both engines. The picture shows the RAT deployed. . CONCERN: ....... If the engines pressed with 60+ tons of A320 above them skid like that , will not the engines cave in or just leave the cowling burnt like paper without affecting roundness of shape. and assume if that happened like it that the pilot was so precise to only touch the cowling, then can damaged cowling fail the both engines altogether ?? .......The aviation authority inspected and confirmed long scratching on the concrete. Highly Appreciate your early professional reply ...... Thanks buddy ...... !!
I doubt he will comment due to the speculative nature of the crash. But, the cowlings are composite, with an aluminium housing surrounding the duct, then another layer around the core. They could have damaged some of the mechanical systems on the outside of the duct under the cowl, which could have caused the engine to fail, but without knowing the details it's all but speculation.

2. What is the purpose of the little rubber “hairs” on new tires?
Joe you are most lovable, nicest, decent and coolest guy on TH-cam.
Model aviator checking in. Lovely video. Has definitely steered my choice in tires for my RC airplanes to reflect what full scale aviation uses. IT makes little difference with them on a performance standpoint since we don't fly off wet runways anyway, but it's nice to know what tread profile to use. Most of my planes should have the straight grooves, certain warbirds should have the diamond tread but only if the 1:1 had it, bush planes get ballooney slicks.
9:10 “Ryanair pilots” lol
Yup I got the same message 😂
how do you know
@@michaelz5633 it's Ryanair
Congrats for the excellent video, interesting and very well explained. I didn't know this channel before, and it was a pleasant discovery. I have to thank you for having included in the notes below the video the reference to my youtube channel and to that of my friends/collaborators regarding the piece of footage we own and used in your video. Best Regards 😉
Thank you so much for the detailed technical videos! As an A.M.T in training, these kinds of videos are a huge help to understaning the textbooks!
Waiting for the anti-skid and maybe how aircraft breaks even look like and work(?)
Cheers!
Indeed
As an A&P mechanic our pilots drive and land our planes like a nascar driver.
I was expecting Captain Joe to say, "Flying a plane is just like riding a bicycle... It's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes..." LOL
My dad was a career A&P mechanic for two major airlines. The 727 nose wheel also has (since some are still flying) the “chin” you mention. Our driveway when I was a kid was marked by a 707 tire that he brought home after a severe lockup (it didn’t roll at all!)
These videos have changed completely in a few months:O
Does he have a new editor or something
@@shaymccarthy4868 im guessing he just have more time...
I love Aviation when Captain Joe teaches, he is a natural
FINALLY
Loving the work
How’s everyone doing
Yes
sebastian ecaser Good, you?
Great you
doing alright but it is a little lonely on my own!
@@meghan11 The quarantine will be over soon.
Thanks for your explanation...really loved it...my love for aircraft started with the day I started watching your video...please keep posting such videos :D
Legend is back🙂
Thanks for posting videos despite the busy time for cargo fliers!
FYI: it’s “tread” not tHread.
I mean not a lie
Saaaaaaaaaaaaame
also Chine not Chin.
@@christophercook723 I may have had a stroke reading your comment. Wtf are you trying to say?
@@christophercook723 What you typed was not plain English. It looks like you tried to type your thoughts as fast as possible and forgot all forms of sentence structure and punctuation.
Regarding the rest of your comment, "America" can be used to refer to the USA because the continent is not called America, it's North America.
Interesting commentary... I recall our civilian flight line crew at KHOP helping change a tire on one of the charter Omni Air birds and have noticed the tread patterns before but never gave it much thought, even after beginning my private license. Thanks for sharing... Always like picking up new information (especially the tire shoulder design... never saw that before).
Whenever I do my preflight I've wondered this, thanks Joe lol
3:05
The cutest sound that doesn't even come from anything cute!
I have one captain Joe 😁 so let's fly together .
I would love to hop in for a quick ride if really do!!!
I really like all the different backgrounds for your videos. It makes it a lot more interesting.
When reading the title I thought, well that answer is obvious. But I learned a lot from you video. Thank you, Joe :)
I did a soft landing at Manchester in a Viscount in the 1970s. It decapitated all four main wheel tyres like taking the top off a boiled egg and they deflated on the runway. We blocked the runway for a couple of hours. When we looked at the destroyed tyres, the rubber had been scalded and was just flaking away in granules. Nice explanation.
I swear I’ve been waiting so damm much for that...
Eytan BEN 🤩
I am not a pilot....I have no intention of becoming one....but for some reason one of your vids showed up on my feed and I love them. Thank you for these very informative videos. I have learned a lot.
Dear joe,
How come some planes, like the A340 and the MD-11 have an extra set of tires in middle? Is it because of the weight or something else?
The more ya know
Weight and sometimes anti tailstrike
You are right. It's because the original designs the DC-10 and A340-200 are build with the usual gear design. Over time the planes evolved and heavier versions were developed. At some point they needed more wheels to accomodate the weight and more structure for the load to be supported. And as you cannot add any wheels to the usual landing gear without a major redesign of the structure itself or you may need not only the wheels but also the gear to support the loads, you end up with the only reasonable option of a center main gear. Nothing you would initially design into an airframe.
On a sidenote: The A320 has an option for a double bogie gear instead of the usual single bogie. Air India has flown this option for some routes to airfield with poor runway surfaces.
Roichi R thanks for the info!
Smaller a340s have two in the middle while larger ones have 4
Great information, Cap'n. On terminology, it is tire tread, not thread; tire chine, not chin. The heat damage done to a tire by hydroplaning is called rubber reversion.
5:17 Yes Captain Joe, it does!
I recently got into f1 and planes this is the perfect vid
Did he say not to do hard landings like Ryanair Pilots do😂😂😂
I believe he said Like some airlines do.
@@daily8150 lol
Is it really true that Ryan Air pilots perform hard landings?
@@pulkitmohta8964 yes, several times i board ryanair, i actually thought the plan is crashing at some point but i get used to it
Great info. Captain Joe, If one tire of a tandem rear landing gear blows out on landing, is the single tire able to handle the extra force?
Yes it can, but a flat tire on a Lear jet not so much, I went off the runway. I had a flat tire on a 737,757, G-4 & FA-900 & landed safely with no problems.
Good vid
I love your content!
Have you landed at Santos Dumont Airport? It's amazing! ✈️
greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
5:50 lmao
Idk why but him appearing on the phone screen got me 😂
Captain Joe would make a great teacher than my math teacher
thinking of installing one of those bad boys on my 1996 Honda Civic. Should I give it a go? I’m sure it’ll give me +10 horsepower.
Could you do an episode of myths about planes such as the brace position being more dangerous and that kind of thing
My son is an aviation enthusiast and he has watched every captain joe video and learned a lot.... Now he knows many many many things.... He says that he can fly an aeroplane now....
Make a video on PK 8303
I learned a lot from you Captain Joe in these 11 minutes
By "thread", I'm guessing you're meaning "tread"
Hey CaptainJoe, you should definitely collab with Kelsey from 74 Gear as he also flies a 747 for a cargo company and it would be really fun to see both of you talk about aviation. Keep up the good work!
age 10 : pilot
age 14 : scientist
age 17 : engineer
Now(24) am an engineer and i just want to be a pilot
you can
What kind of engineer?
I am a diesel engineer, but I learnt so much here. Thanks you so much!
Me ( absolutely not a pilot, I want to learn to fly tho): watches lots of videos that do with planes
The TH-cam algorith: hmmmm, must be an aviator
Me: what, I’m 14 TH-cam
TH-cam: idgaf
Great as usual, but a minor quibble. You mentioned a video about 747 tires and pointed to a link in the corner of the display. But the link was displayed for only a few seconds. I wanted to watch the rest of this video, and was hoping to find that link in the video description. Not there.
Please include that link in the video description. Thank you.
I have a eurofighter remove before flight, I can‘t decide which is cooler, captain joe or eurofighter 😜
The answer is obvious😉
A guy I know has one of the rounds for the machine gun, got it while he was a tech on the typhoon.
That transition at 1:08 is top notch ! 👏
Ryanair is proof that Boeing definitely knows how to build a landing gear
Actually they are built by a French company called Safran, at least for Bombardier and some Airbus models.
@@rudolfhuijs4526 the tires might be, but the actual landing gear itself isn't
MWB Gaming Here goes the link my friend: www.safran-group.com/aviation/landing-and-braking-systems
Good to see you again! I just realized how much effort you have to exercise to produce a new video as informative and meaningful as this and all others. Keep up the good work sir!
Early af within 30 seconds😁😂
Shut up and put my dinner on the table
The maximum grip is with slick tyres on bitumen - cars & aircraft included - but when it starts to rain you have to swap the slicks for tyres with tread (not thread... 😉). On a race car, swapping tyres is no big deal; on a 747 it’s a big deal, therefore you need the tyres that give the best performance in the dry but will also work in the wet. If it never rained, the best tyres would be slick tyres with no grooves at all.
5:50 Lmao, I laughed much
captain joe we want to learn why PIA FLIGHT PK 8303 CRASH , why ATC did not alert the pilot about landing gear was not down ?
why approach was handling the landing and not ATC in this specific case?
plane landings and takeoff who's responsibility ATC or Approach? what difference between ATC and Approach.? if pilot forgot to put down landing gear why ATC or approach did not alert the pilots?
"It’s great for Lewis Hamilton but not planes"
Lewis doesn't like them either tbh
My dear Capt. Joe: ........ I wish you see this comment and respond asap. Question: Can you comment on the latest crash of PIA flight PK8303 in Pakistan involving A320 ??
.
The airline story goes as:
"The plane landed without gears downed for some reason, the left engine first hit the runway and skidded for a thousand feet then the right engine also hit the runway and skidded alike, belly didn't hit the ground, ...... then pilot took off back to go around. Some plane spotter took the picture showing the "Burn Marks due to skidding at the bottom of engines. During the go around the gears were downed but both engines failed because they had hit the ground. and the plane in landing position hit the houses 1 km short of runway tip. "
.
My observation is that the cowling of both engines looks perfectly round without a dent !!!!! ... there are black lines at the bottom of both engines. The picture shows the RAT deployed.
.
CONCERN: ....... If the engines pressed with 60+ tons of A320 above them skid like that , will not the engines cave in or just leave the cowling burnt like paper without affecting roundness of shape. and assume if that happened like it that the pilot was so precise to only touch the cowling, then can damaged cowling fail the both engines altogether ?? .......The aviation authority inspected and confirmed long scratching on the concrete.
Highly Appreciate your early professional reply ...... Thanks buddy ...... !!
I doubt he will comment due to the speculative nature of the crash. But, the cowlings are composite, with an aluminium housing surrounding the duct, then another layer around the core. They could have damaged some of the mechanical systems on the outside of the duct under the cowl, which could have caused the engine to fail, but without knowing the details it's all but speculation.
