Malaysia.

At the end of the roll out the fire services contacted the Captain by VHF and asked if he had a problem as they had seen sparks from the #4 engine. The captain replied that he had no problems and that he would taxi to the parking bay. He noticed that the engine oil quantity was decreasing on #4 and shut it down. On arrival at the parking bay a visual inspection of the engine revealed significant scrapping of the fan cowls at the 6o'clock position, deformation of the fan case at 6o'clock and damage to the thrust reverser cowls at 6o'clock. Upon opening the reverser cowls the bottom of the main gearbox was found

severely cracked, (thus explaining the oil loss), as was the angle gearbox. An engine change was declared and the engine was changed approximately 3 days latter. The Captain was quite surprised at the extent of the damage, as he thought the landing was reasonably normal!

How about the same concept for MTB tyres? Puncture proof and light
