Aircraft and Ground Vehicle Friction Correlation Test Results Obtained under Winter Runway Conditions during Joint FAA/NASA (Federal Aviation Administration/National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Runway Friction Program

摘要

Aircraft and ground vehicle friction data collected during the Joint FAA/NASA Runway Friction Program under winter runway conditions are discussed and test results are summarized. The relationship between the different ground vehicle friction measurements obtained on compacted snow- and ice-covered conditions is defined together with the correlation to aircraft tire friction performance under similar runway conditions.
