If it looks like this plane, it will take off


F35 JSF take off.

I'm thinking the hydroplaning issue would really be complicated by airplanes taxiing on a rain-soaked treadmill.  Seriously, what kind of pressures would they have to be running?  Or are the tires solid rubber?

No.  I didn't see him posting yet tonight, so I thought I might just post some random bullshit, meaningless opinions or opposing viewpoints in his place.
Is Randimus tense? ;D

wouldn't those never hydroplane? If they are solid then the pressure is infinite right? or is it the other way round - the pressures zero... So they are always and forever in a state of hydroplane...

And the plane takes off when it flaps it's wings... Duh

1. Many aircraft tires run something like 27 plys. [Not exact]

2. The air temps at altitude drop down to around - 40  So there are fuel heaters just before the fuel metering devices to heat up the fuel.

3. I wouldn't worry much about hydroplaning on the runway since the plane is being steered by the flight control surfaces anyway.

4. Giving one dog a rib bone with lots of fat on it, and no bone to the other dog can be somewhat entertaining. But if you give bacon to one and the other ones sees you do this, then you have to give bacon to both dogs. And some to yourself...

Mmm, the bacon paradox.

an airplane can "land" on anything.
some landings are just softer than others

Take offs are optional, landings are mandatory.  Unless your tires are hydroplaning or you fueled up before 6am.
