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

unless you fly too high..

based on exhaustive scale model research, the size of the Duck makes no difference...they cannot take off from a treadmill.

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

Actually,hydroplaning can cause quite bad problems with blistering tires on a large aircraft.  It makes it more likely that the tire will skid under braking.  Of course Anti-skid systems alleviate that when functioning properly.

I say it is BS, because if not I am going to go out to the parking lot in the rain, let the air out of the tires of a Corvette (run flat tires), then push it anywhere I please.  If the formula is correct, the hydroplaning car at 0 mph should be easy to push.  You could have a lot of fun at a chevy dealership rearranging all the corvettes...

The equation is based upon gas laws and pressures, but ignores the structural characteristics of the tire.

so what happens if the tire is over- or under-inflated?

It doesn't take off

Dp's right.

In fact, the tire actually goes back in time.

So it becomes a bias-ply tire?

and yes, I realize that some of you whipper-snappers have no idea what I am talking about

Well, I can tell you that from the famous Schrodinger's Tire experiment, where tires are mounted to a bike with a rider and placed into the box, we learn the bike is leaning left AND right.

AT TEH SAME TIME!

Ah, the good ol' pizza cutters.

Negotiating a turn is a 3 step process.


1: Turn steering wheel early in anticipation of car changing direction

2: Tire flexes and then settles in

3: Car finally turns
