Runway construction criteria are defined. The point is to reduce as much as possible the vertical accelerations in the aircraft cockpits during take-off. A mathematical model of the aircraft, taking account of undercarriage non-linearities, was developed and programmed on a hybrid computer. This made it possible to carry out a number of take-off simulations on actual or synthetic runways. Dangerous wavelengths were thus revealed, and the efficacy of hitherto retained criteria was analyzed. Lastly, improvements are proposed. (Author)
