When runway surfaces become contaminated with fluid or fluid-like substances such as water, slush, oil, foam, mud, etc, following operating problems arise -- loss in braking traction, in ground directional stability, and in takeoff performance; United States' research efforts made, equipment used and results of some tests; roles played by various aircraft, tire, fluid, and runway surface parameters in contributing to or alleviating fluid forces developed on aircraft; fluid displacement life and 6 types of tire hydro-planing; runway slipperiness effects on braking wheel.
