lets see if I can explain this - sorta

https://www.usafe.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/1727266/squadron-innovation-funds-drive-3d-runway-surface-scanning-re-creation-effort/

1. usaf is always seeking better tires for the aircraft

2. in order to do good testing, they need to know what the runways really look like - close up and personal

3. they put a 3D scanner in the middle of a runway and record every pebble and grain of concrete and all the other smootz

4. they then build a 3D replica of the runway - maybe with a 3D printer - and then test the hell out of any new tires they are developing

at least I think that is what they are doing - in 4 lines
