• Abstract:
  Aircraft taxi tests were conducted to compare the heating correlation of radial and bias-ply tires. The tires were tested on a Boeing 727-200QC, owned and operated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the purpose of aircraft safety research. The aircraft was taxied at two different tire loads, at three different speeds, and for a given distance unless a threshold temperature of 250° F was reached. There was also a 14-mile roll test of 25 mph and a 31,000 pound tire load was conducted to make a comparison between the radial and bias-ply tire heating. The differences in temperature change (Δ T) between the radial and the bias-ply tires that were taxied the same distance and tire load were then compared.
