You get five stars for that VERY well organized tool box alone. Everything is neat and clean from the tire change kit from the tool crib to the personal tool box, and even the axle jack. And even the landing gear itself is very clean. They normally get filthy with brake dust during normal use. These sparkle! | |
What a powerful mini jack! Amazing | |
A wonderful image we no-airline techs don | |
Nice picture of what we(mechanics and engineers) do every day...... Recentely i changed a tire assy by my self in less than half an hour including getting the wheel change trolly :) | |
Great photo. I am curious about the wheel changing lever... My fellow workers change 7 tires (tire & wheel assys) in 2 hours (2 man team) in a typical busy day... amazing. | |
Did you get permission from Boeing and Airbus? :P | |
Great pic. to answer few ???s: wheel change takes about 30-60mins depending on experience of those doing the job. add 05-15mins if brake unit is also being changed. designed to enable quick change (LRU - Line Replaceable Unit) | |
OK this is on the ground...easy! Do this in the air! That's the trick! | |
I didn't know they can do that | |
Very interesting. I like that wheeled air to remove the wheel. Clean and easy. | |
Nice picture you don't have every day the chance to see of a bird,if you are not work of course for the airplane industie.as an engineer also (for ships) i found this kind of photos very interesting | |
Nice photo! How long does it take to change it? | |
Always fascinating, thank you VERY much for sharing! | |
Holy cow those brakes are insane | |
Nice! :) | |
Thanks for sharing! With the right tools, seems a lot easier than changing my flat car tire in the middle of nowhere! | |
VERY nice photo, thank you. What really amazes me is that orange jack. So small and holding 50 tons of the airplane. | |
Wow that is one worn out tire. | |
