Sometimes, it gets somehow interesting when ironic things are combined and is merely useful as one. An example of which is an airplane and its tire, planes are known as means of transportation above air, however, it gets to use tires to be able to fly even if it is not a transportation for land. All aircraft tire suppliers are responsible in supplying the best quality tires for aircraft makers as this plays a significant role to a planes take off and landing.

The wheels are attached below the body of plane and is engineered to endure the heaviness of its loads for quite some time. There are no specific number of tires that has to be attached because it would depend on the structure of an airplane as well as its entire proportion. Additionally, the weight capacity of an aircraft is also part of the considerations on ow many wheel are supposed to get attached.

These criteria were proven necessary and essential to calculate so that an enough number of wheels would come up. It is important not to put any less and not anything more than enough. That is mainly because these things are ensuring that all scale and mass are equally distributed to all parts of planes and is responsible of balancing its entire structure on and above the ground.

Additionally, fusible plugs are in the interior of the wheel that are assembled to let the tire melt when the temperature is no longer sustained. It is a safety quality during emergencies that includes an unanticipated landings and takeoff. This prevents bursting of wheels when it overheats that are usually caused by too much friction and pressure combined.

Since the tires would melt, this on the other hand could stop the possible explosion due to overheating. Compared to explosion, melting the wheel would mean lesser damage on the plane property and less danger. It is because the melting is anticipated and controlled.

Basically, the interiors of tires are made up of pure nitrogen which helps it lessen its expansion and contraction when it is exposed to a change in temperature and pressure. Normally, aircraft wheels are capable of operating in pressure as high as two hundred pounds per square inches. Though, the maximum pressure it could sustain may reach eight hundred pounds, which may burst in a snap.

But, the mere reason why oxygen is not used instead of nitro is because oxygen is not safe component. That is not an inert gas and is very sensitive to heat. Inert gasses are great preventer of explosion even tires are under extreme heat and pressure.

Also, oxygen reacts differently when combined with rubber, it tends to elevate the temperature even higher. When wheels are operating in an exact amount of pressure only, it would be lesser for it to wear prematurely. That is important because normally, tires are only good for about three hundred landings making it usable for six months.

Another interesting thing about planes is that even when running o ground, that motion is pretty much the same when it is flying on air. The tires are not used to control the plane but are only means of support. Planes were controlled by the turbine engines.
