ESDU 13007 considers the turning forces on tyres of aircraft and
ground-test vehicles, to enable the calculation of minimum
manoeuvre speeds on the ground and to aid in assessing vehicle
steering capabilities. Data are considered from tests on concrete
runways with freely-rolling yawed wheels for a range of Type VII
(bias ply) aircraft tyres, one Type VIII (radial-ply) aircraft
tyre, and a specialised tyre for a ground-test vehicle. Surface
conditions accounted for in the modelling range from dry, through
damp, to flooded. Speeds up to 110 knot are covered whilst yaw
angles up to 30 degrees were tested and are modelled with adequate
precision.
