An astonishing picture has emerged of a square-shaped tyre on a British Airways A380 that touched down at London's Heathrow Airport. (www.dailymail.co.uk) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Cheap Chinese Tyres!!! Round is extra cost.
Looks like tire was flat with a small leak, and at high altitude remaining air was evacuated from tire, thus the square shape... when it shrunk, it sealed the leak off and kept its shape... my opinion...
I think this is a reasonable and plausible explanation.
What is meant by the weight *distribution* being different between a 747 and an A380?
Sounded odd to me also. I think it just comes down to, if you can't dazzle them with brilliance then baffle them with bullsh1t!
Consider the source, it is the Daily Mail after all.
