← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a faulty antiskid system triggers a 'locked wheel' condition during an aircraft landing?
A)Increased tire wear and explosion✓
B)Reduced stopping distances on runway
C)Improved directional control stability
D)Minimal effect landing performance
💡 Explanation
Locked wheel causes a tire to stop rotating while the aircraft moves, initiating intense frictional heating and potential ply separation, because the tire rubber exceeds its thermal limits. Therefore, tire wear increases leading to explosion, rather than improved stopping due to excessive heat.
