Chris Wilson Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Why is there a flat spot down to the canvas on one of the tyres? Don't these flying buses have ABS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they have anti skid.. the flat spots are from when the wheel touches the runway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I see, that's enough to go through the tread to the canvas? I wonder if they could devise a way to bring the RPM of the wheels close to that they need on the Tarmac, whilst airborne, perhaps aerodynamically to save the weight and complexity of a drive system?? Should I rush to the patent office tomorrow ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
