REFLECTOR: The law of conservation energy.

[Brainard, Jerry]

Joe, I assumed you were joking as was I.  I also was taking was a jab at
the fact that neither brake has the power to lock up the wheels.  To me,
that makes them marginal. The force required to operate them is very
high.  Reminds me of some of the early auto disk brakes, before they all
had vacuum assist.  All of  that said, they still the best option
available.

	....got a feeling Jerry was joking Joe .....we all would likely
know what the co-efficient of friction of molten rubber does to stopping
distance...

	But which costs more to replace - brake pads or tires?  Not to
mention the built in rumble strips when a tire is flat spotted.

		It the brakes were really effective, we would be able to
transfer the heat to the big heat sink called the runway.  Lock up the
brakes and the heat goes to interface between the tires and the runway.
There you go.  Lock the brakes and save the pads.
