Rapid Runway Repair Test Description

Abstract

This report describes instrumentation used during Rapid Runway Repair (RRR) tests with a C-141B and C-5A at RAF Wethersfield during October 1-21, 1985. The RRR test objectives were to validate the Precast Concrete Slab (PCS) and Fiberglass Mat (FGM) repairs for use with strategic airlift aircraft, to collect data on the performance of the two repair types under sustained airlift trafficking, to determine necessary modifications to the repair methods to support sustained airlift aircraft operations, and to provide additional data for the (TAXIG) HAVE BOUNCE Program.
