Aircraft tire wear results from operating conditions that are quite different from those encountered in land vehicles. One of the most important of these is touchdown, where the tire suddenly spins up from zero to a large angular velocity. This phenomenon is studied from both the analytical and experimental points of view. The analysis is basic, using elementary properties of the tire and wheel. It results in a new dimensionless description of the process. The experimental study consists primarily of small scale laboratory data, although limited full scale tire data is also presented. The data show increasing weight loss during touchdown as the dimensionless severity increases.
