at what fricking temps do runways melt at? wtf
and no VTOLs are shit, unless we get some new substantially more powerful propulsion technology (compared to any kerosene combustion) runway takeoff is the way to go
sounds like you brits used too much tar in you tarmac. I mean, its great for waterproofing but that tar comes to the surface when it gets sorta hot. > currently 106 outside and my neighbor's driveway is doing the same thing.
For roadways, there are different binder grades that can be used for different temp ranges. Though bleeding can occur when there is too much binder in the asphalt.
>too much tar in you tarmac. I mean, its great for waterproofing but that tar comes to the surface when it gets sorta hot.
and in a country known for frequent rain and an incredibly mild climate (considering it's latitude) that was exactly the sensible decision to make.
104? is that all? jesus fricking christ you bongs are weak. Here in TN is gets almost 100 every day before heat index and humidity come into play, 80 at night. I don't care if this is some rare event, toughen up.
Triple digit temperatures with high humidity is brutal no matter where you’re from, tough guy. I’m not surprised that soggy Bongland is a bit shocked when hit by it. Like people from the desert when they encounter a couple inches of snow and don’t know how to drive in it. -Midwest resident
insulation works both ways, like how a thermos keeps hot things hot and cold things cold
many regions of america have a large range of temperatures which is why we have both heating and cooling, and american houses are typically well insulated
Not him but it is worded weird. I wanted to see warped runways but when I googled it all that came up was tar that connects the runway sections was coming up and it was unsafe to taxi through them.
The clickbait here is they want you to imagine a tarmac made of liquid and bubbling boil
Lots of morons in this thread. The tarmac didn't melt at 35-40c, it melt at a higher temperature. Runways run very hot especially military ones. All the usual RAF sorties for training, patrolling, AWACs for Ukraine, Transport cargos (for Ukraine but also to other countries) etc, means it's a very busy tarmac. A busy tarmac runs very hot
ah yes which is why its constantly melting right? are you fricking moronic bro? if what you said was the case the fricking tarmac would be closed every week
Air transport is the least efficient of all methods of transport and VTOL the least efficient of all methods of air transport, fricking have a nice day
fake news. israelites are out there in the dead of night torching each inch of the runway with flamethrowers to push global warming green new deal bullshit. IGNORE

You sir, are a dumbass.
no
u dumb
Russia has cranked the Havana Syndrome ray guns from tummy aches to laser beams.
>Bonglish Infrastructure
bong here, we're getting a heatwave of 40°C/104°F. we, and our tarmac, are not used to these temps
Lmao call me back when it hits 114, 100 is just beach weather.

Much more in need of waterproofing than heat protection in the UK.
apparently not
Most of these runways were built pre 2000, no wonder they're suffering. We still suffer alot from rain
Is both really impossible in present day?

This thread is truly showing how moronic yanks are.

The difference being our homes are designed to keep heat in and we don't have AC.
Your homes are made out of paper and plywood and have AC.

>our homes are designed to keep heat in
if they are good at keeping heat in, they should also be good at keeping it out
You don't have water-cooled roads?
clickbait bullshit
So the runway at ARF Brize Norton isn't currently out of commission? Planes are taking off/landing at it?
yes

Not every week there's 40c in the UK autist pay attention

>runway melted
Was an F-35 landing there?
Runways are made from concrete, not tarmac. Concrete does not melt. You fricking morons.

>86 F
>"the runway tar melted!"
Please explain.
At least you can still take off from the QE's.
