A study is presented of most of the properties of pneumatic tires which are of interest to aircraft designers. The principal topics discussed are the vertical-force-deflection characteristics; lateral, fore-and-aft, and torsional spring constants; footprint-area properties; relaxation lengths; rolling radius; cornering force, cornering power, self-alining torque, and pneumatic caster for yawed rolling conditions; effects of wheel tilt; and tire radial growth under the influence of centrifugal forces. For each tire property considered, semiempirical equations are set up which take into account the major factors pertinent to the property. Wherever possible each equation is compared with the available experimental data to establish its degree of reliability. (Author)
