Flush AM-2 Mat Patch for Rapid Runway Repair.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA095891 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report describes a research and development program to investigate the feasibility of using AM-2 landing mats for a flush surface over bomb craters in runways. The AM-2 landing mat concept under test was designed to allow flexibility to adjust to varying crater sizes. Four systems of anchoring AM-2 mat patches to the surrounding pavements were tested. Each system, when installed over filled craters, was tested with an F-4 load cart. Author
