This report presents the results of all efforts to study the problem of wet runway control of the F-4 fighter aircraft. The hardware tested is as follows: Hytrol Mark II Brake Control System, Hytrol Mark III Brake Control System, Standard Main Tire, Dunlop Main Tire, Sommer Main Tire, BFG Main Tire, USAF Main Tire, Dual Mode Hydro-Electrical Control Steering System, Standard Nose Tire, Dunlop Nose Tire, BFG Nose Tire, and USAF Nose Tire. In addition to this, testing was also completed to determine the variation in main tire spinup time with touchdown sink rate and the effect resulting from 50% worn main tires.
