minus-squareathairmor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·4 days agoA tire for a 737 is about 110 kg. So, that’d be 45 tires.
minus-squareexasperation@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·4 days agoThe 787 has 8 main tires and 2 nose tires. The main tires are 218 lbs (about 100kg) and the nose tires are 114 lbs (about 50kg). So a set is roughly 1970 lbs/900kg, pretty close to a short ton. 5 metric tonnes would be about 5.6 sets of 787 tires.
