12、cal Standard Order 24 October 2003 3. INTRODUCTION Tires have been receiving more scrutiny during recent years. There have been additions and changes to the aircraft tire qualification regiment in efforts to improve tire reliability and safety. Continuing discussions occur over exactly what is the b
13、est way to qualify aircraft tires. It is hoped that by presenting the history of aircraft tire test methods in the format of an AIR, it will provide a better understanding of how the current qualification test methods were developed. 3.1 Background This panel was formed within A-5C to utilize the ar
14、chives of the SAE membership to provide as much historical documentation as possible, while such documentation still exists. SAE INTERNATIONAL AIR5651 2 OF 214. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Aircraft tires were originally selected by fit and availability. The aircraft landing was determined at that time to
15、 be the event the tire must be designed to withstand. Its not clear why or how this was determined, but aircraft tires were eventually required to withstand at least 4 times the tire rated inflation pressure for burst strength. It soon became obvious that there needed to be some standards relating t
16、o tire dimensions, their interface with their respective rims (wheels) and tire load capability with its complementary required inflation pressure, so organizations like TRA and ETRTO developed standards and included aircraft tires in their yearbooks. Dynamometer testing requirements for high speed
17、tires remained the same from the initial TSO-C62 document through the (b) revision. In 1978, an incident occurred in which the failure of one tire on a multi-tired bogey led to the cascading failure of other tires on the same bogey. The ability of a tire to carry more than its rated load at rated in
18、flation pressure for a brief period of time was seen as essential to aircraft safety. Therefore, TSO-C62c was issued to encompass this need for all high speed (160 mph (71.5 m/s) aircraft tires. TSO-C62e was issued in 2006 and incorporated a 61-cycle (50 takeoffs, 10-35 000 ft (10 668 m) taxis (2 at
19、 20% overload) and 1 takeoff at 50% overload) spectrum of testing For 120 mph (53.6 m/s) and 160 mph (71.5 m/s) tires as an alternate to the energy landing testing. The 61-cycle spectrum of testing had proved to be a successful testing regime for all high speed tires (160 mph (71.5 m/s) since the (c
20、) revision had been issued 17 years earlier. Further, the equipment to conduct energy testing was not being updated and the correlation from energy test conditions to actual aircraft performance was not obvious. Therefore, a better alternative was to provide the 61-cycle spectrum for these tires als
