Combat Traction II, Phase II. Volume I, Narrative
Abstract
A sensitivity analysis of airplane braking distance was conducted on a hardware-analog brake control simulator for the Boeing 727-200, 737 Advanced, and 747-200, the Lockheed C-141A, and the McDonnell F-4E aircraft. Parameters affecting braking distance by at least 2% were identified. With the application of dimensional analysis, these parameters were arranged in dimensionless groups, and a braking distance prediction equation was developed for each airplane. A new methodology for predicting airplane braking distance is recommended, based on a dimensional equation, a suitable ground friction prediction system, and accurate weather data.
