rgr, we will wait and see, I'll do some physics calculations after finals are over and we will see how it works out...

then I will use my new knowledge in statistics and we shall calculate the probability of it actually working, when it will fail etc... Smiley

hey if I have nothing else to do it might be fun.. Wink

Not to burst any bubbles ...............but the greatest density emphasis is required at the gate, not the runway.  An airplane making a tight, low speed turn, creates a more tightly focused  downforce than one that is landing. On the same token, what do you think is the biggest cause of damage to aircraft interior floors, fat guys in loafers or 100lb women in 3" heels? (hint)Most people are surprised by the answer! The same general physics applies to the gate vs runway scenario.



If I had just landed my airliner on a road (carefully avoiding all cars, bridges, road signs, lamp posts etc Wink ) the last thing I'd be doing would be taxiing to the gate!

Fair point though. I'd still prefer a plane full of 100lb women in 3" heels though...  Smiley (it would keep the weight down)
