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

The intent of this SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is to inform the aerospace industry about various systems available to monitor the inflation pressure and/or temperature of an aircraft tire. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), with cockpit display, is the most widely used of all aircraft tire monitoring systems, and is detailed in this document more than other systems.

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.

This document is to provide a general understanding of aircraft tire constructions and characteristics and how they relate to the decision-making process in selecting a tire. In addition, guidance on qualification requirements is addressed.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) sets forth criteria for the installation, inflation, inspection, and maintenance of aircraft tires and the maintenance of the operating environment to ensure the safety of support personnel and the safe operation of the aircraft.

An investigation into the current range of tire chine designs approved for application on aircraft requiring non-standard water spray deflection.
