Evaluation of Various Sizes of Butler AM1 Landing Mat

Evaluation of Various Sizes of Butler AM1 Landing Mat

The study was conducted to determine the optimum panel size of the various sizes of AM1 landing mat. The mat was to sustain 1600 operational cycles of an aircraft having a gross weight of 60,000 lb with a single-wheel main-gear-assembly load of 27,000 lb and a 30-7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi. A test...

Zusammenfassung:The study was conducted to determine the optimum panel size of the various sizes of AM1 landing mat. The mat was to sustain 1600 operational cycles of an aircraft having a gross weight of 60,000 lb with a single-wheel main-gear-assembly load of 27,000 lb and a 30-7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi. A test section consisting of three items with different subgrade strengths and surfaced with the various sizes of panels was constructed and subjected to accelerated traffic of the 27,000-lb test load with tire inflated to 400 psi.
