Abstract
THE major problems concerning aircraft tyre design are the high ground speeds involved, very high braking torques which have to be transmitted, high temperatures which can be generated in the brakes and transferred to the tyres, as well as the stringent weight and space limitations imposed. These problems have all been magnified many times through the years with the great increases of aircraft speed and weight: modern jet airliners having ground speeds of up to 250 m.p.h.
