JetBlue Landing at Los Angeles
JetBlue Landing at Los Angeles
(OP)
Well, I have to admit I'm impressed. My work is in much heavier structures and that front wheel assembly just didn't look strong enough to me. It will be interesting to see more info about the engineering aspects of this incident.

If (we) facilities structural engineers design aircrafts, they will never fly due the SF we build in! Aircraft and car designers optimize their design because it drives fuel and economy.
I had a friend of mine who was an engineer for Ford Motor Company. They optimized one of the car frames using NASTRAN and saved 5 pounds. I laughed but he quickly reminded me that the five pounds were great for fuel economy.

If you recall,before he attempted landing he had his crew move baggage & people to the rear of the aircraft.From an engineering point of veiw that was smart as heck.shifting the load off the nose,and off the front gear.I do not know if they teach that at pilot school.If not that was some well thought out moves.
