The Invention That Stops Aircraft No Matter What
With thousands of aircraft taking off and landing at any given time in the world, it is just a matter of time (and statistics) for something to go wrong on the runway. But why runway excursions happen, how the chances of it happening is reduced, and what can be done to stop an airplane that is about to overshoot the runway, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #longs

That was a great tip. I will not use military runway to hide a body next time. Edit: I forgot.
Next time 🤨?
where will i hide my next body😢
yeah better not use the military runway
@@virajkharat1515 Yeah, now SOMEBODY.......... has to go and dig it up
@@DeadDolphinMan where will I hide my next vessel?
"That's a good reason why you *wouldn't* wanna bury a body under a military runway" Oh thanks mate you just saved my ass, gonna have to find a new spot
Well, he said military runway, you can still hide bodies below civilian airports runway
:o good point
You can use my basement. I'm building a new foundation next week and I had to excavate the old concrete. I'll be pouring it soon though so you might want to hurry
Have you tried page three from the google search results?
Hi 2B.
Thanks for the info....now I will not hide a body under any runway!!
😅
@@NotWhatYouThink Thanks for this Advice.
lol
I'm about to hide a body under a runway... but it's not what you think!
@@khit007 tell us what u think
“When things get wet even pilots lose control” killed me 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Edit: Thanks for the likes guys
💀💀💀💀
Mile high club 🤣
This narrator always has amazing puns in every video and were here for it!
@@4-Methylaminorex IKR every time, that’s y I love to watch his videos
Really...don't bury a body under a military runway got me. 🤷♂️
As someone actively working to get their piloting license, your aviation videos have been quite interesting. Hell, I’ve learned a fair bit that may even become useful when I start to actually fly! Thank you for making these videos, and keep up the great work!
Your a lucky man im really jealous 😔....I have only had 1 taster flying lesson and was hooked immediately. Its my dream to get my pilots license.
The fact that you’re learning things from these videos is both amazing and horrifying, remind me to never fly with you if possible
You ever thought about joining the military? If you're American, all branches are offering significant bonuses to pilots to stay in, the air force is giving out $400,000 bonus ten years contracts. Just a thought. I'm obviously not a recruiter.
@@rookietherooks1594 for a regular person it’s not the greatest thing to hear a future pilot talking about how much they are learning about flying from a KZhead video
You should also watch the “Mentor Pilot” channel. He’s a very experienced pilot with in depth videos. Lots of crash evaluations too.
"Damn, it's called Runway, not run away! Where did you get your license?"
plane be running away from the runway tho 🤓
Safety technology in aviation is always interesting and worth the cost over time.
Unfortunately, a good amount of those safety technologies came at a price.
Seen the coring team at work once, they were trying to get a sample of the sub base on a road, and had cored down half a metre through layer upon layer of top material, before they finally came to the sub grade layer. That road had been getting layers of top wear course added every few years since it was built, because the ground had subsided a little with time, and the swamp had been drained. Plenty of roads have thick wear courses, because they simply got overlaid with new, and the crown increased, and every decade or so the pavements were relaid higher. Old pictures from the 1930's of the building i lived in had a set of stairs at the front, now the pavement is level with the top step of the building, stairs all buried. Where I currently live 3 steps down from street level, for the same reason.
Wow, that really puts it into perspective.
Wow yeah, it can get pretty nuts when they never regrade a road, just keep slapping it on :)
I've seen Russia doing that, the video said it was corruption though, getting paid to lay road even when it doesn't need it
Same around my house which was built in the early 1700s. Ground level is now above floor level. Not great for drainage!
@@cooperised and here at a village in the UK. The drainage is rubbish, not helped by poor resurfacing.
There's way to little appreciation for all the work that goes into making everyday stuff safe and reliable. Thinking about it, it's obvious that there's a plane equivalent of "guard rails", but until now I didn't think about it, let alone know it exists on top of that :o
Even things like the everyday door in hospitals, or Windows at mental health facilities designed to be breakable in the event of a fire but also withstand something like a chair or arm being thrown at them without a scratch. Think about how much testing goes into things like lifts every day..... Around the world millions of people work hard to keep us all safe. They are our nameless & faceless hero's!
One of these systems is installed at a small airport a few minutes from my home. Common sense told me what it is, but I never knew what it was made of. Thank you for explaining it!
Your videos do a great job connecting multiple general concepts and specific examples that I have never heard of
Glad to hear you enjoy our work 😊
Great post as usual. But you buried the lead!! The EMAS was added to "Bob Hope" airport - runway 26 - for a very specific reason: Southwest Airlines Flight 1455 crashed through the end barrier, crossed a street, and plowed into a gas station! Thankfully, no casualties. But certainly one of L.A.'s most notorious aircraft incidents.
Huh, I forgot about that and only remember the Southwest Midway overrun. Very similar scenario with short runway(s) in a terrible location.
That's not burying the lede. Burying the lede (or lead if you use the older spelling) is mentioning the details but doing it in a way that "buries" them deep in the story rather than emphasizing them. I don't think he mentioned these details at all, (though granted I was doing other stuff while listening) so that doesn't fall under the definition of burying the lede. But even if he had mentioned those details, I wouldn't consider them to be the "lede". I think they were just ancillary to the actual point of the video, which was just to discuss the various methods that airports can and do use to slow down planes when necessary. This wasn't a video about Bob Hope airport or the EMAS at Bob Hope airport or the accident at Bob Hope airport, so those details can't be the lede.
@@AdeleiTeillana Thanks, Walter Cronkite.
@@Ayn-Rand-Is-Dead You're the reason people hate KZhead. But thanks for the clearing up the spelling!
@@Ayn-Rand-Is-Dead I hate hurting someone's feelings. Sorry, pal.
Excellent explanation of the runway overrun areas. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Im impressed how you manage to find new interesting topics I have never thought about, without repeating yourself or stretching 3 sentences into a 10 min video
That's exactly what he did. I can't even finish this video because he just keeps dragging on about virtually nothing to hit the 10 minute mark
@@shemullet What? Dude actually put a lot of information in this.
2:34 is also why when landing in wet weather the landing is harder than normal as the pilot is intentionally landing at a higher than normal speed and at a steeper angle than normal. This helps minimise the hydroplaning because the water is driven out from between the tyre and the runway by the increased forces.
Southwest Airlines has run into the EMAS on more than one occasion. EMAS is Engineered Matierial Arresting System. We call it "Energy Management At Southwest"! 😆😆😆
1:48 how I land a plane in a flight simulator
i enjoy your videos man, very informative and just a great method of presentation
Love your videos!
Please more videos like this, it is super duper educational!
Amazing, very informative
You should do non-military stuff more often
Never knew that. Thanks for this educational video.👍
I visit telluride Colorado almost every week to ski, and now that I know they have this installed it makes me feel a lot better about looking at the runway from the top of the mountain, as it ends right at the edge of a cliff
For those that want to skip the pointless fluff, the video starts at 5:15
“the big is too big” -big
Very excellent invention. Thanks for sharing, Not What You Think 🙂
For the sake of precision, hydroplaning is different from, and actually a lot more interesting than, simply losing traction or friction because of water. Hydroplaning happens when water gets in front of/under your tires _faster than the weight of the vehicle can displace it_ . The incompressability and pressure of the water raises your tires completely out of contact with the driving surface and they end up skimming across the top of the thin later of water, like a water-skiier skimming across a lake. You're actually driving on top of the water, causing a potential complete loss of control or ability to brake in an acceptable fashion. It's super dangerous, but still very interesting from a physics perspective.
Great contribution 👍
An expensive but possibly good idea is to have layers of material so that a smaller plane (private jet) will not slam to a halt and a larger plane (747) will still stop due to stronger, higher resistance materials on the bottom.
Very Information Video.
This is amazing, I first saw this stuff when I was a kid and I've been looking for it ever since. Thanks for the video!
i like how 99% of your videos are exactly what i thought.
So you live for the 1% 😜
Aren't all airplanes off-roading whenever they fly?
EMAS looks like a fantastic invention - Not just for its ability to _stop_ a runaway aircraft quickly and safely, but also for the fact it still provides a firm base over which to evacuate safely. EMAS stops aircraft, doors thrown open, slides deployed, everybody slides _over_ the damaged section of EMAS and then runs to safety. This gets a 100% from me! 💯✈👍
I love it when life-saving tech is developed and then widely implemented.
great video . i allways wait or your video.
Very informative video
I love this channel, and I am curious where you got your accent
1:56 damn that quote hits hard
Dude, thanx for usually showing the units using the international system. It gives me hope.
Right? It's sorely needed
No dude , American platform, no problem using only our measurements 💯
@@georgehilario3544 As an american metric is superior in every way.
Very interesting, thanks!
Protecting the fuselage is key when dealing with a wet runway. The “go around” is another safe option.
untill they run out of fuel
We can only hope they somehow figure out how to build another runway somewhere else............ Runways are super rare
The GO is safe provided a pilot decides to perform one. Regretfully, some pilots try hard to land anyway, even when overshoot the touchdown zone. We see the results in the news only when they stop beyond the runway, fortunately very seldom cases.
interesting video, you should continue these types
Oh!! Ohhhh!!!! Pick me, I know this one. When an airplane loses brakes, it keeps on truckin'!
While friction between the wheels and the runway provide most of the breaking, passenger aircraft still have reverse thrust from the engines they can use for breaking that doesn't rely on friction. Planes can still land on slippery surfaces (within limits )but the aircrew needs to know the conditions so they can plan for it.
This is the 3rd time I've seen the title and the thumbnail change
This is cool!
The Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) is technically a Falling Weight Defectometer as it has a single axle. Both are interchangeable but the HWD can deliver way more "oomph" to the ground :) It works by measuring the sound soundwaves picked up by the geophones from different distance from the point of impact.
Oh that’s good to know. Didn’t realize it measured things by picking up sound waves from distances. 😊👍🏼
The runway overrun system is really clever.
I love that sense of humour.
8:25 had to stop the video because I immediately recognized Yeager International Airport in Charleston, West Virginia. Where the Airport was built literally cutting off the top of a mountain. Have flown in and out of CRW numerous times over the years and it's ALWAYS fun...especially in poor/wet/foggy weather.
Good one.
Rfs real flight simulator be like: **touches drirt/grass** Plane: DESTROYED
This is very educational video
Burbank/Bob Hope/Hollywood -- BUR airport and the history there with Southwest Airlines runway overruns should have been instructive in this video. Southwest Airlines flight 1455 on March 5th, 2000 went off the end of the runway and famously came to a stop at a gas station across the street. It's an amazing testament to the constant culture of improvement how different the later Southwest incident was due to this barrier system--though one wonders about Southwest's lack of improvement...
"...that's why you wouldn't want to bury a body under a runway" I didn't see that coming. Dude, what!?
....and other metaphors that have you thinking what psychologist does the commentator have
I don’t have a psychologist. I have the rapist. Oh … looks like I hit the enter key too quickly!
@@NotWhatYouThink they dont tinker with your mind they tinker with your poopy
Excellent content, very accurate.
how does it work in cold places, when the blocks get soaked wet and frozen solid. ? has some heating wires in them to get rid of the moisture or freezing?
Where you get all these footages.
How do they get the plane out of the EMAS after it's buried itself in it? Does it usually break the wheels/landing gear off?
6:16-6:30 the wacky world between different kinds of polystyrene (that are all essentially the same) and the implications of the phrase "like styrofoam" could be a 2 hour long video all it's own
Just spoted one of our drone shots of Southampton airport at 4:37 How cool!
Good Job 👍👍👍
I was about to comment on the passengers getting killed by over G. but it got answered. Only 1 G force is really impressive.
This technology should be implemented internationally. It would save many lives while being cost effective. Good stuff.
Good info but why do You use aeroflot and airrussia plane clips in your video?
I really like your videos when they pertain to regular engineering in the civilian world. I like military stuff too but damn once you see enough folks dead and rotting in front of you ....sometimes you just not in the mood to think about the military
can we get a video on deployable composite forward runways? cant remember the official name but like massive carpets you roll out for fighter aircraft
Hmm, very practical, and doesn't look too expensive.
You mentioned the French press and my mouth watered lol
☕🙂🎧 Interesting. thank you for show this. have god day all.
The bury your body under military runway part caught me off guard.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"That's a good reason why you wouldn't wanna bury a body under a military runway!" Nah bro I just use my garden.
Hah ha- Bruh
Love your videos they’re always very informative and educational and fun about topics I never think about and you’re one of my favorite KZheadr, but why don’t the airports just use big gravel traps instead? There must be a reason as to why they made emas instead of using gravel
my guess is that the nose wheel would kick up the gravel, which would then go into the engines and destroy them. Or just the chance that some gravel would get onto the runway and get sucked into the engines of aircraft landing or taking off? Keeping little bits of stuff, Foreign Objects or Debris, a.k.a. FOD, off the runway and taxi ways is a bit priority at airports.
Very interesting
"The Invention That Stops Aircraft No Matter What". Short answer: "The ground".
0:41 that is a falling weight deflectometer that they use to test the flex of the runway surface
Video starts at 5:40.
this guy's job at 9:41, the guy sitting in the truck. That job looks super chill.
Really glad you changed that title and thumbnail. Looked really silly initially. Only watched this one after seeing it was changed
Which thumbnail/title did you see before? It's been changed a few times, lol!
@Not What You Think Has it? That's interesting. I'm having trouble recalling specifics but it was something about "stopping when you can't land".... I'm not too sure anymore. "Landing" was the focus of the previous title. Unfortunately that's all I can say. At this point, even the thumbnail is a huge blur. All I can tell you with certainty is that the current thumbnail and title are pretty solid
4:40 thats my local airport lol. Southampton UK. wiered how identifyable it was considering its size
It's funny to me that as I watch this video and the later half discusses the repairs and inspections on the runways in military installations, the flightline I'm working at has several sites shut off for repairs. idk how old it is now. but dang. there's cracking and hollow sounds from some parts of the ramp, I'm starting to doubt the quality they laid down however long ago the ramp was built/repaired last.
What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?
That Ape Team t-shirt is badass.
After watching a Jschlatt video and seeing this video title as the next video, I was really thinking it was gonna be a 5 second video of some skyscraper….😂
There's also another invention in UK I think where concrete dries instantly regardless how much gallons of water you dump on it all at once.
It's called "thirsty concrete"
"That's a hell of a way to land an airplane".
Wow, once again it's exactly what I thought (due to you thumbnail spoiler)
Was expecting a rail gun but this is also cool
Re upload?
Thanks for your video. May I ask why do civil aircraft not use parachute as a retarding aid in emergency landing? I see China use it in military aircraft. Is it because the mass is too large?
You'll also see these on the highway going down steep mountains. Here in Tennessee on monteagle mountain they have excursion pits every few hundred yards. The mountain is so steep and the trucker's used to lose control so often... It's basically just really fine River gravel (or pea gravel.) And it's super deep. They'll sink several feet down into it and it can stop them in the length of about five transfer trailer trucks. And they're usually going really fast so that's impressive to stop them in such a short distance. I always found them interesting but I made the mistake of stepping into one once after an excursion had just been removed. I sunk down like 3 ft. Nearly left my damn shoes at the bottom
Yes, THAT is the reason why you shouldn't bury a dead body under a military airfield runways :D
So they are using the pavement for a tire tread essentially, and basically a controlled sand traps! That makes a ton of sense and is way better than just being regulation happy.
2:51 is this the west atlantic overshoot in montpellier cause I was there that night XD
I watched your video and felt horrified. Let no one be harmed🙏🙏🙏
5:08 is a picture of Newark. Not LaGuardia
I think the building giant wall to stop an aircraft is cool idea
In a wet runway landing pilots rely more on the reverse thrusters bc that does not cause hydroplaning
thrust reversers?
