Re: Airplane Melted Into The Tarmac At Moscow's Airport
There has been a flight delay in Moscow's Domodedovo. The problem causing it is highly unusual. The plane, which is owned by S7 Siberian Airlines had its wheel embedded 10-15 centimeters into the melted airport tarmac! Officials say it all melted due to the high temperatures currently in Moscow. We are currently experience a long and dry heat wave. The delay on that single flight was around six hours.

What do you all think about it? I'd like to hear your thoughts! Badly constructed tarmac plane parking spaces, abnormal heat, or perhaps a diversion to search this plane by the FSB for some reason? Here is the article about it in Russian.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56826360


It's a long way from Siberia to Moscow. The temperatures in between aren't that hot as well. My own weather station is currently showing +30.8 degrees, with a peak of +32.7. It's a mostly sunny day, like the last couple of weeks have been. I would say someone skirted on the asphalt quality while laying this. Please keep in mind our super heatwave of 2010. Where temperatures exceeded +37+40 degrees Celsius. Only now are we noticing these issues though. burnit

Moscow and regions is under full red Heatwave alert. Our subway is handing out free drinks at old stations without air conditioning. But there are reports of infrastructure besides airports starting to fail. Just yesterday a Subway driver passed out due to the heat of his tincan train. He drove well past the scheduled station without stopping... hiding

I have to convert to Fahrenheit being from the US, so

I live at this temp for about 3 months a year with at least 3 international airports around me, and they never have this problem.

No not caused by the air temperature. I don't believe it.

 Quoting: jpop


I honestly don't believe the heat was a culprit in itself. Perhaps it had help from lousy construction and a weakened airplane wheel. Which probably could have burst under taxiing, if not noticed? Still haven't figured out how much energy it would take to melt the forward airliner wheel stand.

I've been around nosewheels for a while, a while back. The rubber in them looks really thick and sturdy. Enough to handle many landings. So I'm still left scratching my heat in this awful Russian dry heat.

To be quite honest? I think it likely says more about sub-standard construction and paving techniques or possibly about pilots that may have taxied the plane onto a surface that was not rated to support that load.

I highly doubt that even an extreme heatwave would cause this... after all, you don't hear about the airports in the Middle East closing because it got so hot the asphalt liquified.

And it gets WAY hotter there than in Moscow.

I was a flight attendant for a major US airline. I remember having a full DC10 (around 350 passengers) and a ground delay because of bad weather (torrential storms) at our destination (ORD). We were sitting on the tarmac for over an hour in our departure city. I can't remember the airport; it might have been Denver. It wasn't Phoenix, Texas, or the West Coast.

After a few hours, the captain announced that the runway was too hot for any planes to take off, so the delay was extended for several more hours. Passengers were rebelling. I remember them, in unison, pounding their armrests and yelling, "Take off! Take off! Take off!"

As if we had something to do with the weather.

OMG...that had to be the worse flight I ever had....all because of the weather.

We eventually took off after the weather cooled, but had to fly into Milwaukee. Chicago was closed. Charter busses were on hand to transport passengers from Milwaukee to Chicago. The crew, of course stayed with the plane, as did some passengers. We eventually arrived at O'Hare around midnight. Our scheduled arrival time was 4pm.

July, 2012

"The temperature reached 100 degrees in Washington on Friday and that apparently softened the airport paving enough to immobilize the airplane. The small vehicle that usually tows planes away from the gate tugged and pulled, but the plane was stuck.

A jet airliner getting stuck in the airport tarmac appeared to be one of the more unusual incidents that occurred in the Washington area amid a blistering string of daily temperatures above 95 degrees."

Re: Airplane Melted Into The Tarmac At Moscow's Airport
Asphalt vs Concrete:

Concrete is better for certain large airports. Asphalt never completely hardens, and will always behave like an extremely viscous liquid. So when you heat it up (on a hot summer's day), it becomes less viscous. When you put a heavy weight on it (like an airliner), it will tend to flow away from and surround that airliner.

Planes pull up to a gate, sit for an hour or so, and suddenly their wheels have sank into the ramp six inches and they can't move. Same with runways, the constant shock of landing aircraft cause the asphalt to buckle and warp eventually.

Concrete has issues in the cold, however, especially if it is not laid well. It can buckle and crumble when it expands and contracts. However, it only gets stronger as it ages and it can easily be made to withstand the hardest of landing impacts.

The type of material does not make any noticeable difference to takeoff/landing performance.
