Comments by "" (@OldManPaxusYT) on "How huge jet LANDED without wheels as millions watched on TV u0026 why Korean plane couldn't do same" video.
As someone with a naturally innovative brain, THIS INFURIATES me! 🤬 It is EASY and CHEAP and SIMPLE to reinforce key areas, put sleds, emergency wheels (i mean solid ones, like a roller-blade has), rows of them, or ball-bearings or even other mechanism (could be only exposed in emergencies).... ON ALL PARTS THAT TOUCH GROUND IN Wheels-Up landing!!! DECADES OF WATCHING CATASTROPHIC DAMAGEs and NO ONE DOES THIS!?!? I could come up with at least 10 ideas, without even thinking too much!!!! I bet i could DESIGN at least 4 without any great engineering knowledge! Knowing how air-operators, manufacturers etc operate (always saving every last cent), i bet it's just greed that prevents life-saving tech!. (P.s. I am CPL qualified pilot but not an engineer. I realize we're talking about enormous heat generation when metal slides across rwy at 200+knots and drag etc..but that is all the more reason SOMETHING other than engine cowlings and fuselage should be there to DEAL with the ground!!!! Ffs.. some kind of sled! It could be NON-METAL!! Like some heat resistance super polymer... It's not like it has to last long! JUST ONCE!)
