Tony Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 In the article, they say there is confusion about why it's square. Clearly it lost pressure while in flight, then as it descended, atmospheric pressure collapsed the tyre, rather than partially reinflate it. Square makes reasonable sense, since triangular wouldn't have worked with the wheel size> http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/10/aviation/british-airways-square-tire-mystery/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+eecnnworld+%28CNN.com+-+World%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
