Heathrow in Future: Meeting the Environmental Tests

This chapter explains how Heathrow could be developed in future by the airport operator, in a way that meets the Government’s environmental conditions. The main options involve adding a short, third runway north of the A4, with associated passenger terminal facilities; and making greater use of the existing runways meanwhile, by introducing ‘mixed mode’ operations (as described). We also discuss the merits of certain operational changes, whether or not these capacity developments go ahead.

Shipping Aircraft Tire Assemblies by Air

whitePaper | December 15, 2019

Serviceable tire assemblies are considered dangerous since they are typically inflated to high pressure. Essentially, when tire assemblies are shipped by air, the pressure inside the tire increases once the plane reaches altitude. This rise in pressure could cause an over-inflated tire to explode in the cargo hold and compromise the structural integrity of the aircraft.
