FRICTIONAL AND RETARDING FORCES ON AIRCRAFT TYRES PART 1: INTRODUCTION

THE FRICTIONAL AND RETARDING FORCES THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED WHEN AIRCRAFT TIRES ARE OPERATED ON PREPARED, HARD RUNWAY SURFACES ARE EXAMINED. THE MECHANISMS FOR GENERATING FORCES IN THE TIRE-GROUND CONTACT AREA ARE DESCRIBED. CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN TO THE EFFECTS ON BRAKING FORCE OF CHANGES IN TIRE, RUNWAY SURFACE, AND AIRCRAFT DESIGN OPERATIONAL FACTORS. MATHEMATICAL MODELS ARE INCLUDED TO AMPLIFY THE THEORETICAL ASPECTS. /AUTHOR/
