Quick Turnaround vs brakes cooling ?
TwinAisleFeeders has developed a "Quick Rotation" feeder concept with twin aisle narrowbody cabins reconfigured 1+3+1 (vs 3+3 today) applicable to A32X Series (---> H2XQR), 73X Series (---> H3XQR) and/or 75X Series (---> H5XQR) where the idea is to reduce ground rotations sufficiently to impact upon the trip cost picture and restore economic balance through extra freight and/or Product Differentiation ... we have explored possible interferences from "Brakes Cooling System Inop" making the concept not workable but have found in-service statistics show good-to-very-good dependability upon BCS ... in certain climatic zones/specially exposed airfields though, shortening ground rotations (by eg - 16.5 minutes for H21QR vs A321 at high loadfactors) could require intervention of a service vehicle offering chilled air Landing Gear cooling externally ? Do you Gentlemen think such a solution would be of proper assistance to keeping brakes temperatures within maxima
