ESDU 71025 is Part I of a group dealing with the frictional and retarding forces that can be developed when aircraft tyres are operated on prepared, hard runway surfaces. In this part the mechanisms whereby such forces are generated at the tyre-ground contact area are described and particular consideration is given to the effects on braking force of changes in tyre, runway surface and aircraft design and operational factors. A further section describes the various types of anti-skid system in use and an Appendix gives an introduction to the frictional properties of rubbers and their compounds. The very extensive reference list includes all sources used in the preparation of the companion parts, ESDU 71026 and ESDU 72008.
