Runaway Rubber Removal

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA218349 | Open PDF

Abstract:

When the wheels of landing aircraft impact a runway pavement, they deposit rubber on the pavement surface. As deposited rubber on the pavement surface. As deposited rubber accumulates, the available friction between aircraft tires and the runway surface is reduced. This results in hazardous aircraft operating conditions. In this research report, factors affecting the need, method, and timing of rubber removal are addressed. Keywords Runways Rubber Aircraft tires.
