tires oxygen verses nitrogen

[WHYUMAD]

The helium atom is very small versus the nitrogen atom, so it'd most likely leak faster.

It's a joke but do you think it might actually yield an interesting result?

Nope. Think about it. A good sized helium balloon can't lift more than an ounce or two, and that is at atmospheric pressure. At 40ish psi, you have made the gas significantly more dense than the atmosphere around it, it is no longer "lighter than air".

I say fill them with Hydrogen and Drive it Fast and Hard!

referring to budoneairship what's the one that can hover seen it in person 8 or so years ago that was the coolest thing I've ever seen an air plane flying that slow and coming to a hover amazing Sioux Falls South Dakota has a very good air show every 4 or is it 6 years and it's free the kids love it normally the blue angels are my favorite not that year waving out the door spinning in circles it was just cool. also the biplane's that run on ethanol 100% not sure but it was more than e-85 just cool if ethanol is good enuf for a plane I'm good with it on the ground.

how about carbon monoxide burn out the remaining air

Not sure about the newest vertical take off/landing fighter out there other than the Marine Core Harrier jump jet. It's British built and been around for decades. I believe there is a new F-35 version that is vertical take off/landing. But not sure I've been out of the fighter jet scene since 95.

I think it's the same one that arnold schwarzenegger was in but I don't remember the show either other than it hovers it was cool to see hear in person with in a few 100 yards of course it's amazing to me just to fly a neighbor friend crop duster took me for a ride in a 2 seat-er that was fun until he said you want to fly under that bridge I should of said go for it but all I could think about was kids and I have crops to plant first time up in a 2 seat-er flown altogether maybe 5 times + the 2 seat-er

Then the jet you speak of is the Harrier jump jet.

That variant is the STOVL. Short Takeoff Vertical Landing.

CTOL variant and the CV variant

... Downfall is that if you offroad and change the pressure a lot it isn't easily accessible ...

Some off roaders carry bottles of CO2 to air up there tires; so simply carry the same size bottle of dry nitrogen, available at any welding supply place.

so its no big deal if you put regular air in with nitroen

No, it is no big deal if you put regular air in with Nitrogen. As mentioned before regular is about 70+ percent nitrogen.

A Nitrogen filled tire is only about 95% Nitrogen, with the rest being air and the other garbage that make it up

I've had Nitrogen in my Raptor tires for over a year now, and have had no issues with air pressure, haven't had to check pressure since.
