Airplane! Trailer

spoco2 says...

Or, as it's known in Australia "Flying High". True, and from wikipedia apparently it was only us and the Philippines who called it that... odd.

I mean, we call the Aeroplanes, but so does England.

Actually, from further reading in Wiki, it had a tonne of brilliant names around the world:

German: The Unbelievable Flight in a Crazy Airplane (Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug)
French: Is There a Pilot on the Plane? (Y a-t-il un pilote dans l'avion?)
Portuguese (for release in Brazil), Fasten your seatbelts,the pilot is gone (Apertem os cintos, o piloto sumiu)
Italian It's the craziest plane in the world (L'aereo più pazzo del mondo)
Finnish Hey, we're flying! ( Hei, me lennetään!)
Spanish Land as you can (Aterriza como puedas)
Latin America And where is the pilot? (and ¿Y dónde está el piloto?)
Norway Help, we're flying (Hjelp, vi flyr)
Swedish Look, we're flying (Titta vi Flyger)

Yowsers... I wonder what film has the most different names around the world?

Oh, and a brilliant film, I saw recently the one of the films it was spoofing (Airport 1975) and loved seeing some of the plot points they were spoofing.

Great film, with many lines that are quoted regularly in our household.

For the record:
When I first heard the sond the first part of the lyrics reminded me of Şimarik by Tarkan

and I was right. Another clip I found was a cover of this track:

This track also contains references to Aaliyah's Try Again

The title refers to Flying High by the Captain Hollywood Project

And she refers to Shakira..

Rolling Different Tires Down A Ski Jump Hill

statueofmike says...

The rigidity is important to a certain limited extent. A tire that is ideally rigid will flex at the beginning of the ramp, then snap back to it's normal shape right at the end, adding an extra elastic force to push it up from the jump. A tire that is too rigid will not take advantage of this, and one that is too elastic will not recover enough of it's original shape to take full advantage of the ramp's incline.

In the same way, where a correctly weighted tire will force the ramp down and then back up in time to add a lifting force to it's launch, too massive of a tire will push the ramp too hard, so it really depends arbitrarily on the construction of the kick ramp.

Other than the rigidity, the grip of the tire on the green will affect how much of the initial potential energy is retained for jump speed. You'll notice how some of the tires grip the launch ramp pretty well, while others begin bouncing and skidding down? The ones that begin to skid don't pick up as much speed as the others, and consequently don't fly as far.

Next to the rigidity affecting grip and launch angle, and tread affecting grip, it seemed like air resistance was negligible. Though the heavy machinery tire would have been the only one considerably less influenced by air resistance, it didn't count because it literally destroyed any experiment.

It's fun to think about what is affecting these, but still isn't the real point of the whole thing to see some big wheels fly high up in the air and then come crashing down!?
