Tire Pneumatic Aircraft NSN Parts Sourcing & Procurement

Pneumatic aircraft tires are designed to withstand extreme loads for short durations. The amount of tires needed depends on the size and weight of the aircraft, as the weight of an aircraft must be distributed evenly to operate correctly. The tread patterns of aircraft tires are designed to remain stable in high crosswinds, channel water away to prevent hydroplaning, and aid in the process of braking. Many aircraft component types consist of fusible plugs which are designed to melt when they reach a certain temperature. Tires usually overheat once maximum braking is applied in an aborted takeoff or emergency landing. The fuses are in place to facilitate a safe failure mode, preventing the tires from exploding by deflating them in a controlled manner. This diminished damage to the aircraft as well as the surrounding environment. The manufacturing of aircraft tires is dominated by four companies that are responsible for 85% of aircraft tires. Those are Goodyear,Deval Corporation, Michelin, Dunlop, and Bridgestone.
