38C is only 100F. Asphalt gets tacky when its in 90+ degree heat for long, but its still safe to drive on. Are planes just so heavy that they sink into the runway? Or are runways made of softer stuff?
- potatochup 4y agoPossibly different mixes depending on the environment.
- zach_garwood 4y agoI think you're right. Apparently, tarmac is not only the name of the area of an airport, but also the name of a material, and tarmac is different from asphalt.
