If your just about to hit V1, hear a thump, then a firelight, and the plane starts to decelerate...or the airspeed just stays there...hmmm...do you think you will get to VR?
Problem before V1...you're rejecting. Problem after V1, you're going.

Stick to one screen name. I realize that ssg got pounded and had no credibility, but coming back as a different name doesn't give you any more credibility when you're posting the same tripe over and over.

Clearly if the airplane can't fly then it can't fly. If you're talking a business jet, you're going to have enough power to accelerate to Vr from V1 with a blown tire. If you can't maintain directional control, then clearly you have to stop...that doesn't even dignify a discussion on the subject. However, you don't seem to have any significant real world experience if it always comes back to "in the simulator...".

If you had a tire or wheel failure approaching V1, was the problem you weren't accelerating because you were riding the brakes on the opposite side?
