Effects of water, ice and slush on traction characteristics of runway pavement were investigated by Federal Aviation Agency and NASA; water on runway can cause loss of traction as result of aquaplaning of aircraft tires below speeds of landing or takeoff; speed at which aquaplaning occurs is related to tire pressure; slush also causes aquaplaning and induces drag of critical proportions for slush depths in excess of 1/2 in.; tests of various runway traction conditions showed that braking data taken by test vehicle can be related to aircraft braking; new device for measuring traction was developed.
