Work on the development of new and improved manufacturing methods, controls, equipment and processes was directed toward the fabrication of filament-wound, continuous-cross-section aircraft tires. Nylon, glass and wire reinforcements in bias, geodesic, and radial types of filament-wound configurations were investigated in the fabrication of subscale, 30 x 8.8, 22-ply-rated tires. Acceptable designs, materials and processes were developed for the fabrication of subscale tires. The findings of the work on subscale tires were applied to the fabrication of 49 x 17, 26-ply-rated, prototype tires, which were made with nylon reinforcement in a bias-type configuration. Operating procedures and control techniques were developed for the production of 49 x 17 tires. (Author)
