Tests on prerotation of airplane wheels to lessen shock and wear hazards to tires are described; through use of vanes weighing approximately 5 lb, prerotation of 68% was obtained with little more drag than that of normal tire surface. Photographs not included with mimeographed copies. (Trans) (see also abstract in Flight v 46 n 1862 Aug 31 1944 p 238-40)
