In order to provide data on the rolling resistance of aircraft in dry, loose snow, measurements using an aircraft tire and an ASTM-tire were carried out. In order to be able to predict the rolling resistance as a function of aircraft speed, static wheel load, snow density, and snow depth, with the presented measurements as base, a complementary theoretical predictive model was derived. Finally, after comparing theory and practical measurements, a formula for the determination of the rolling resistance as a function of aircraft and snow parameters is suggested.
