by Seeing the airplanes flying through the sky created a lot of curiosity in everyone. Today there is no one who has not wanted to travel by plane at least once. Have you ever wondered how an airplane flies through the sky, how it works, and how an airplane makes a spectacular stop when it’s hurtling at high speed. The highly sophisticated braking system arranged in airplanes and its functions will now be explained.
Airplanes are not only equipped with tire braking like cars, bikes and buses. Why does it have to travel so far to stop when landing? Boeing 737-800 weighs about 70 tons. This aircraft has a landing speed of 250 to 275 kmph. In other words, it has to be said that bringing this 70 ton aircraft from a speed of 275 km to zero speed is very difficult due to the braking method of a plane with very small wheels considering its size.
But experts say that if the runway is wet during landing, it can only be stopped by taking a distance of two kilometers above. The main braking force of the plane comes from the tire itself. But the tires are too small for the size and weight of the plane. Tires need to be wide for braking to be efficient. But if the tire is wide and heavy, it is too much of a bummer to fly.
As such, the braking of the plain tire is not only dependent on this. There is another three type of braking system. Applying all of these together stops a speeding plane. Watch the video and learn about various braking systems like Aero Dynamic Braking, Speed Brake, Wheel Braking. Share to others if you like.
