Aircraft Ground Flotation Analysis Procedures--Paved Airfields

Abstract

The report describes standardized methods for analyzing ground flotation characteristics for aircraft of various designs based on the type of airfield construction. The methods described were applied in an analysis of the KC-135 aircraft to illustrate the techniques. These methods can be applied to any aircraft to determine its flotation characteristics in relation to a given type runway.
