Aircraft Tire Carcass Reinforcements

DRIVE July 2, 2026
Source
An aircraft radial tire having a radial carcass reinforcement with a plurality of carcass layers made up of textile reinforcing elements oriented substantially radially, which is to say forming an angle of between 75° and 105° with the circumferential direction, the radial reinforcing elements of the carcass layers are composite cords having at least one aromatic polyamide filament yarn and of which the force at break is FR, measured in accordance with the standard D885/D885M-10A (2014), and these elements exhibit a deformation at least equal to 4.6% for an applied force equal to FR/4. The tenacity of these reinforcing elements is at least equal to 80 daN/mm, and the linear density of the one or more aromatic polyamide filament yarns does not exceed 210 tex. The thicknesses, adjusted for the shaping radii of the carcass layers, remain constant over the entire tire.
