Work on traction of pneumatic tires on wet runway is discussed, and it is shown that loss of tire traction adversely affects cross-wind landings; effect of runway surface texture is considered, and method for measuring surface texture described; preliminary correlation of tire traction with surface texture is shown; results of work at Langley Research Center on use of air jets to improve tire traction on wet or flooded runways indicate that this is promising approach for alleviating large losses in tire braking and sideways traction that occur when tire hydroplaning occurs on flooded runway.
