And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It's called magnaflux. I'd like to know the story. The tires didn't burn off cause there's no residue or evidence of smoke. It almost looks like it was jacked up, the tires removed, then the jack fell and the wheels embedded into the pavement. There appears to be a problem with the front one too.
lets see...not including the other MLG not shown, entire shock strut assembly with axle bogie, trunion bearings, NDI of spar box structure, fuel leaks, anti skid system and brake system renew/repair,tires and wheels and bearings, assorted sensors,switches,wiring and hydraulic system & mechanical bits and pieces etc. I put it conservatively at $1,200,000.00 plus labor. I mean, come on, it's a Boeing product
Good brakes, a little too good. Probably only 100grand to fix.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, anti-skid didn't work...
ReplyDelete757 methinks. Autobrakes would have prevented that unless el-capitain ran out of room. Rejected takeoff? Blown tire and then...? And more that 100K.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's not just wheels. It's parts up to the wing spar, and that will likely need x-ray/dye penetrant imaging for stress cracks.

ReplyDeletewhere are the skid marks? This plane didn't land this way, it looks like it has sunk into the tarmack?
ReplyDeleteLooks more like normal maintenance. Let it down on the pavement, but forgot how hot it was.
ReplyDeleteI worked on aircraft for 23 years and I got no idea what that is.
