Publicize Aircraft Recommended Practice for Missionized Wear Testing on Wright Patterson’s Landing Gear Test Facility’s 168i dynamometer.

This document points to a standard ASTM test method utilized by land vehicle manufacturers and others to provide the electrical resistance of a tire. It is desired that this ASTM test method is also used with aircraft tires. This method will assure that more accurate repeatable data is provided to those in the aerospace industry who request it.

The purpose of this SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is to establish guidelines for the measurement of static and dynamic characteristic properties of aircraft tires. It is intended as a general guide toward standard practice, but may be subject to frequent changes to keep pace with experience and technical advances. It replaces the previous SAE document, AIR1380.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) sets forth criteria for the selection, inspection, retread and repair of worn civil aircraft tires, and the means to verify that the retreaded tire is suitable for continued service. This document is applicable to both bias ply and radial aircraft tires qualified subsequent to the adoption of this document.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) describes the current process for performing comparative wear testing on aircraft tires in a laboratory environment. This technique is applicable to both radial and bias tires, and is pertinent for all aircraft tire sizes. This AIR describes a technique based upon “wear” energy. In this technique, side wear energy and drag wear energy are computed as the tire is run through a prescribed test program. The specifics that drive the test setup conditions are discussed in Sections 4 through 7. In general, the technique follows this process: A test profile is developed from measured mechanical property data of the tires under study. Each tire is repeatedly run to the test profile until it is worn to the maximum wear limit (MWL). Several tires, typically 5 to 10, of each tire design are tested. Wear energy is computed for each test cycle and then summed to determine total absorbed wear energy. An index is calculated for each tire design.

The performance of an aircraft tire/wheel assembly in service is dependent on the geometrical fit, load distribution, and performance at the tire/wheel interface while rolling. This document focuses on the tire-to-wheel circumferential movement for a new tubeless tire.

Develop a database which will be used to generate a set of predictive equations for a wide range of tire properties for modern (radial) aircraft tires. Methods and parameters to follow the tradition of NASA TR-R64, modified as appropriate/necessary. The application of the resulting paper will facilitate the estimation of radial tire mechanical properties for use in landing gear system models, thereby enhancing aircraft safety.
