@cockpitking: Airplane tyres aren’t spinning before landing. They hit the runway at 0 mph — and reach about 160 mph in a split second. The instant friction with the runway spins them up to aircraft speed. That brief puff of smoke? It’s the tyre accelerating faster than almost anything you experience on the ground. #facts #aviation #airplanefacts #flightphysics #avgeek
