When ever you are landing or taking off the controller says the name of the runway, but who came up with the name and why that name?

when i land if rolling between 60 and 35 mph, i get heavy vibrations coming from the front wheel, if i pull the yoke relieving pressure from the front wheel, vibration goes away if i let go the yoke vibration is present and when it slows down vibration goes away.

Tell me if I'm not making sense, but if you own a car, you need insurance. You have car insurance in case you get into an accident. When you get into an aircraft accident, the damage is either minor where you could afford it, or you are most likely dead and insurance wouldn't matter to you. Am I crazy or does that make any sense?

If the Helium is compressed until SOLID , then contained with appropriate material , whenever there is a problem , the Helium is allowed to expand and fill a giant balloon , which could have the effect of
1- Increasing the Buoyancy , making it float longer and take a longer time to reach ground .
2- Cushion the fall .

So the question , is that possible , and why hasn't it been done yet ?

The Brazil plane that crashed was an Airbus. The inital report on CNN said that it ran right off the runway without stopping and crashed into a building. they also stated it had been raining.

Now I took an aircraft safety class during my undergrad degree and one entire day the professor spend speaking about the problems with the Airbus system and listing crashes with the "why's" and "how's". A few were like this, where the plane came into land and never stopped. Reason? Airbus system gives the final say to to the computer and not the pilots. When the planes land, because of the water on the runway, the computer doesnt register the correct amount of friction associated with a landing and never initiated the braking system.

Anyone think that's what happened here too????

They keep stating that it was b/c the runway was short... but how many other planes of that size land there daily and have no problem???

Anyone???

Having outriggers mean better balance.
With 3 hulls, even if one is damaged you have two more.
Means you have 3 runways instead of only one.

Current winds at an Airport are 10 degrees @ 25 knots. Which would be the preferred runway for Landing ? 10, 25, 1, or 100. (Also, Please explain how you arrived at your answer)
( Hint: All runways are identified by a number. The number is the first two digits of a compass direction rounded to the nearest 10 degrees. For example, if a runway faces west or 265 to 274 degrees, it is numbered 27
