Artist's Description
The landing of an airliner is almost always a very dynamic affair. Once the heavy machine has touched down, spoilers raise up to rob the wing of lift and let the plane settle it's weight on the runway. That helps the brakes, which generate so much heat in slowing tons on tons of man and metal that they sometimes glow.
