The Rolling Friction of Several Airplane Wheels and Tires and the Effect of Rolling Friction on Take-Off
Description:
This report presents the results of tests made to determine the rolling friction of airplane wheels and tires under various conditions of wheel loading, tire inflation pressure, and ground surface. The effect of wheel-bearing type was also investigated. Six pairs of wheels and tires were tested including two sizes of each of the types designated as standard (high pressure), low pressure, and extra low pressure. The results of calculations intended to show the effect of variations in rolling fri…
