INVESTIGATION OF THE HEAT RESISTANCE OF AIRCRAFT TYRES AND COMPONENT MATERIALS

Abstract

Further tire heating tests were carried out, using the infrared heating chamber, to confirm and extend the results from earlier work on standard construction tires and to show the effect of lining the chamber with heat insulating materials. Some work has been done on cooling pre-heated tires in wind tunnels over a range of wind speeds. Work continued on the production of steel casing tires to new constructions and using heat resistant polymers.
