The F-101B had enough engine power that if you held the brakes and ran up and plugged the burners in it rotated the tires on the rim(s) and blew them.You could see smoke as they skidded down the R/W. Hardly relevant to the question of what happens at the *very start* of a takeoff roll of a transport category airplane. Even in the case of the much higher power-to-weight ratio of the F-101B (or other fighters, for that matter), the smoke doesn't occur immediately upon power-up. Pete |

... Paul Tomblin posted: Since when does smoke come off the tires of a plane starting its takeoff roll? I can't think of any way that could happen. My post was only to show that it could and did happen based on my experience. I appreciate your input. Still, the key phrase in Paul's post is "starting its takeoff roll". Even in your example, there's no suggestion that the smoke occurs at the START of the takeoff roll, as described by the person who started this thread. Pete |

What began as a question to ascertain the frequency of aircraft landing from above another has turned (due to my poor verbiage, possibly) to how smoke emerged from the 747's wheels on takeoff Is it common to see planes commencing their takeoff roll before a just-landed aircraft has fully turned off into the exit? That clearly happened in the incident I wrote about too... We don't care about the landing sequence or why two aircrafts had posession of the runway Raj. We want to know why the tires smoked. :^) |

posession of the runway Raj. We want to know why the tires smoked. Because smoking is addictive, and the tires were watching too many cigarette commercials. Big tobacco should pay the user fees.
