Extract

In this paper the many aspects of tyre performance criteria are discussed, as they have developed over the last decade. The corresponding tyre developments that have been effected to date are set out in considerable detail, together with the forward developments which are currently engaging the skills of modern tyre designers.

For the most part the paper deals with the present standard aircraft tyre, of conventional or cross-ply construction (Fig. 1), but the future role of the radial ply tyre (Fig. 2) is treated in some detail.
