Very good Markus, Great, I've been looking for a wing section diagram to locate the tires in the wing. Just ahead of the main spar. This wing has two and the trailing spar for the elevons to hang off of. The rest are formers. The main spar, leading edge and the fuselage form a triangle. But the tires are in harms way in this case considering the military photo. I'm guessing still that one or both of the tires exploded. I know they are filled with nitrogen which is inert-but does anyone know the properties of nitrogen when it's heated substantially. In any event they are pressurized to about 300PSI at SL. That's a lot of pressure in a near vacuum.
