The use of nitrogen inflation actually started with aircraft tires.
Where it DOES make a significant difference. EXTREME temperature and
pressure differences during every takeoff and landing.


Been a WHILE since I saw it, but one SHOW had a
feature about a PLANE that got into TROUBLE. The
guys had RUN OUT of nitrogen, and left the TIRE
a bit soft. That caused a CRASH.

Here's a couple of Boeing videos that show why you need nitrogen in airplane
tires. It's the rejected takeoff test of the 777, stopping 750K pounds going
at 160mph. That plane is a great American achievement, the best plane I've
ever flown on. I went from JFK to Hong Kong, 16+ hours, non-stop on one. And
over the north pole, if something goes wrong, there isn't a handy airport nearby.
