SHORT (CIRCUIT)
Type of ice formed by the slow freezing of supercooled water and It is very adhesive and can only be removed from the objects by breaking or melting.
CLEAR ICE
STALL
AERODYNAMICS
Outermost layer of the tyre, it is the primary point of contact with the road.
TREAD
Most commercial airplanes are painted white to reflect sunlight, which helps keep the aircraft cooler and minimizes potential sun damage to the fuselage, but there´s yet another reason... can you tell?
Colour white also makes it easier to spot cracks, dents, or other anomalies during inspections, ensuring better maintenance and safety.
CHECK PICTURE 2
INGESTION
Inflatable rubber membranes typically found on the wings of commercial jets as well as the horizontal and vertical stabilizers used to get rid of ice.
DEICING BOOTS
LEAKAGE
FLUIDS
It ensures that the tyre remains securely attached to the wheel rim.
BEAD
Airplane tires are designed to withstand speeds of up to 170 mph and can carry up to 38 tons. They’re so strong that they can endure a number of landing and takeoff cycles before they need to be replaced. How many cycles do they endure?
over 500 times
CHECK PICTURE 3
DENT
Superficial rubber cuts that happen on the tread. The cuts are shaped as "v" and extend across the tread.
CHEVRON CUTS
LOCKING
MECHANICAL
Two or more strong layers of steel cords, it is strategically placed between the carcass and the tread.
BELT

STRUCTURAL AND TYRES
Another name for Radial Cord Body
When a plane lands at night, cabin crews will dim the interior lights. Why?
In the unlikely event that the plane landing goes badly and passengers need to evacuate, their eyes will already be adjusted to the darkness.

CHAFING / RUBBING
It occurs when the engine fails to accelerate to an appropriate idle speed. Usually stalling at a lower RPM. This is caused by inadequate fuel supply or airflow issues. Temperatures are usually higher than normal
HUNG START
TRANSIENTS
ELECTRICAL
It is the area of a tyre from the bead to the tread.
SIDEWALL
In 1980, a Lockheed L-1011-200 TriStar left Riyadh International Airport in Saudi Arabia. The plane landed after just 20 minutesin the air , it also taxied on the runway but iresulted in the deaths of all 301 occupants. What was the cause of the deaths?
