Here’s something you don’t see every day. When we look down at the wheels of airplanes we generally see something round. But imagine the surprise when the gate personnel at London Heathrow Airport identified one of the 22 wheels on an Airbus A380 as essentially a perfect square.
The A380 had just landed at Heathrow, and the British Airways flight had arrived after approximately 13 hours of flying from Hong Kong. The Aviation Herald said the pilots reported that a tire pressure warning went off shortly after the departure. Knowing the incident was minor, the crew decided to continue the flight and experienced no trouble during the landing at Heathrow.
