Tires are ring-shaped coverings that go around a rim to protect that wheel’s rim and to provide performance. Tires provide traction between the vehicle and a hard surface, provide cushioning, and absorb shock to keep the vehicle running efficiently and the passengers comfortable.
Aircraft tyres need to be able to move along a 120-degree F taxiway, climb into subzero temperatures and comedown again on another tarmac at 80 miles per hours. They need to be able to bounce while landing. Your typical automobile tire could never withstand this pressure and abuse.
Tires used on airplanes are certified by the FAA and the TSO’d to a certain standard. These tires are tested to the limit. There are several federally established regulations, engineering and high-tech requirements and countless rules to follow.
Crafting Tires for Aircraft
1. Determine the size constraints of the aircraft
2. Determine the weight requirements
3. Determine the performance expected by the aircraft manufacturer.
Aircraft tires are termed “high-performance tires.” They need maintenance to perform the job they were designed to perform. Specific pressure is designed into every tire engineered and manufactures for aircraft. If you have an underinflated tire you will not be able to land smoothly and safety issues become an issue. Checking the tread, pressure, and roundness of a tire is part of the pre-flight procedures before an airplane can take off. It the tires are out of alignment, do not have the proper psi, and are worn, your plane fight will be delayed.
