Abstract:
The primary objectives of the test program were to determine the capability of the C-141A aircraft to operate from landing mat runways and to demonstrate the capability to operate on an unsurfaced runway. The support provided included soil strength measurements on the runways, elevation profiles on the runways, and evaluation of the effect of the C-141A on the unsurfaced and landing mat runways. The data collected during the test program are presented and discussed. Approximately 370 takeoffs, landings, and taxis were conducted on the landing mat runway. Fourteen C-141A operations were conducted on an unsurfaced runway with soil strengths ranging from CBR 2 to CBR 20.
