RADIAL PLY AIRCRAFT TIRE AND RIM

摘要

A radial ply aircraft tire (11) is mounted upon an H-type rim (10) which was originally designed for use with a bias ply aircraft tire. The ratio of the axial distance (WBF) between the rim flanges to the maximum cross-sectional width (CSWR) of the tire is in the range of .7 to .9. The ratio of footprint width to footprint length for the tire is in the range of .45 to .65. Preferably, the carcass (12) and the belts (14) are reinforced with aramid cords.
