Item Name Code (INC) 51021
 |
A mechanical device made of rubber, chemicals, fabric and steel or other materials, which, mounted on an aircraft wheel, provides the traction and contains the fluid that sustains the load. Tube type tires are of a form to inclose an inner tube containing air under pressure. Tubeless tires incorporate carcass materials and construction to provide fluid retention equal to that of a conventional tire and tube.
Additional Information for Aircraft Pneumatic Tire
Aircraft Pneumatic Tires are a type of tire specifically designed for use on aircraft. They are part of the supply class "Tires And Tubes, Pneumatic, Aircraft" in the supply group "Tires And Tubes".
These tires are made with a strong and durable construction to withstand the unique demands of aviation. They are typically filled with compressed air to provide cushioning and support during landing, takeoff, and taxiing.
Aircraft Pneumatic Tires are designed to have low rolling resistance, which helps reduce fuel consumption and improve overall efficiency. They also have specialized tread patterns to provide optimal traction on various types of runways, including paved surfaces, grass, and gravel.
These tires are available in different sizes and configurations to accommodate different types of aircraft, ranging from small general aviation planes to large commercial airliners. They undergo rigorous testing and certification to ensure they meet the strict safety standards set by aviation authorities.
Overall, Aircraft Pneumatic Tires play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of aircraft by providing reliable ground support and enhancing the overall performance of the aircraft during ground operations.
