Stress testing aircraft tires is as impressive as it sounds [Video]
posted April 16 2013 20:22.38 by Giorgos Lazaridis

The last Concorde accident was caused by a flat tire - A piece of the spinning tire penetrated the wing above and caused the disaster. To avoid situations like this, Dunlop puts aircraft tires to the test. Watch this impressive video!
