Asking again abt spinning planes' wheels b4 touchdown to reduce tyre wear. Thnx AV8Trxx. Bt see details below
No complicated and heavy mechanism would be required: Just fit vanes or cups (as in windmills) around tyre rims which would make z tyres rotate. Z energy would come frm incoming air... and this would assist in reducing plane's speed prior to landing as well. Btw, u knw hw much replacement of tyres cost z airline industry? A LOT!!! Go and find out abt it.
I really do not think that spinning the tires before touch down would do much good. Yeah it may save some "mileage" as far as tread wear, however, it would not do anything to reduce the fatigue due to the extreme downward force of the plane, especially for a rough landing.
Then one must also take into account the wear caused by extreme braking.
And, depending on the airflow and tire configuration, how could you guarantee that all tires would spin at the same speed? If they do not spin at the same speed, you would have tires that wear differently...creating a new problem.
Not saying your idea is wrong or crazy, I just think that aeronautical engineers would have figured this out a long time ago if they thought it would be beneficial.
