Results of tests to determine effect of wheel brakes on landing run of airplane, under various conditions of load and at various wind velocities, are presented; Douglas M-3 plane equipped with internal expanding type of wheel brake with specially devised mechanism for operation differentially by foot pedals; tail wheel; advantages of use of brakes in reducing landing run and in increasing facility of ground maneuvering; methods of operation and application.
