| showboat - 6/20/2018 00:42 I think it's QUITE POSSIBLE that the portions of the highway I saw were indeed "specd" and designed fo. r heavy bombers. Those areas were runways, allowed to be used as highways. showboat
Heavy bombers of the B-52 or B-1 flavor have empty weights in the 200,000 pound area and max takeoff weights closer to half a million pounds. Specing very much roadway that's intended for automotive traffic to those loads would be horribly expensive, but I don't suspect you'd see nearly so many crews out rebuilding the roads because of truck traffic.... |
Straight sections of interstate highways??
