It was found possible to design a suspension system which provides a 41-ton tank with approximately 100% increase in cross-country speed without increasing the power-to-weight ratio of the vehicle. A suspension system incorporating a low spring rate and adequate damping provides a significant reduction in pitch and bounce vibrations, thereby increasing vehicle cross-country speed capability without degrading the effectiveness of the crew or the vehicle weapons system. It was found feasible to design cross-country vehicles with a speed capability of 30-35 miles per hour within the present state of the art. A major advancement in mobility machinery was achieved by means of a theoretical analysis of suspension design characteristics and performance parameters. (Author)
