Never aproach a wheel from the side when it is being inflated, that can blow apart and kill bystanders. Stay foward or behind the tire. Aircraft wheels are a "split half" design. They are held together by nuts and are inflated to 1/2 their rated pressure before they are sent out to the plane. When they are installed, then the wheel bearing nut adds to the strength of the wheel, and they are inflated to full pressure. Most people are amazed at the pressure inside aircraft tires. I can't rember the exact PSI for a FA-18 tire for carrier ops, but it was something like 4,000. ![]() |
