The impacts of loads and temperatures on aircraft tyres electrical conductivity performance

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The aircraft tyres undergo heavy loads and super speeds at takeoffs and landings of airplanes, and hence are exposed to severe friction with the runway. Subsequently, it creates excessive electricity during this procedure. A stray electrical discharge can fail the electronic components on the airplane and cause disasters. Therefore, the aircraft tyres are made of conductive rubber, and which expel electricity to ground in time. There has been few publication presents the electrical conduction tests of aircraft tyres, and the present research shines a light on this topic. The electrical conductivity tests of five aircraft tyres are carried out at the Aviation Tyres Science Centre. The electrical resistance are measured under vertical loads and high and low tyre temperatures. The loading and temperature effects on electrical resistance are discussed in accordance with the experimental records.
