    Aircraft Tire Data

    Aircraft tire Engineering Data Introduction Michelin manufactures a wide variety of sizes and types of tires to the exacting standards of the aircraft industry. The information included in this Data Book has been put together as an engineering and technical reference to support the users of Michelin tires. The data is, to the best of our knowledge, accurate and complete at the time of publication. To be as useful a reference tool as possible, we have chosen to include data on as many industry tire sizes as possible. Particular sizes may not be currently available from Michelin. It is advised that all critical data be verified with your Michelin representative prior to making final tire selections. The data contained herein should be used in conjunction with the various standards ; T&RA1, ETRTO2, MIL-PRF- 50413, AIR 8505 - A4 or with the airframer specifications or military design drawings. For those instances where a contradiction exists between T&RA and ETRTO, the T&RA standard has been referenced. In some cases, a tire is used for both civil and military applications. In most cases they follow the same standard. Where they do not, data for both tires are listed and identified. The aircraft application information provided in the tables is based on the most current information supplied by airframe manufacturers and/or contained in published documents. It is intended for use as general reference only. Your requirements may vary depending on the actual configuration of your aircraft. Accordingly, inquiries regarding specific models of aircraft should be directed to the applicable airframe manufacturer.

    MMM Group Limited Lethbridge Airport Financial Assessment and Governance Study Update 2016 February 2017 | 1216101-000 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the request of Lethbridge County and the City of Lethbridge, MMM Group Limited (a WSP Company) completed a 5-year update to the 2011 Financial Assessment and Governance Strategy for Lethbridge Airport (the ‘2011 Study’). The update reflects current market conditions and is intended to assist with future airport governance-related strategic decisions and to aid the Airport Committee in gaining a better understanding of current and future airport activity. The update incorporates changes in economic conditions and air transport industry trends since 2011, including the entry of WestJet’s Encore 78-Seat Q400 into Canada’s regional air service market. The approach followed in updating the 2011 Study is presented below. MMM was tasked with updating current market conditions, economics and air transport industry trends through the following tasks: ► Baseline airport conditions were revisited through Stakeholder consultation interviews and web- based surveys. ► An environmental context review was completed to update the economic outlook of the country and took into consideration current government policy initiatives, funding sources, and trends in the air transport industry as they relate to Lethbridge. ► A new baseline activity forecast was prepared following a review and update of previous assumptions. Forecasts of General Aviation activity were updated to reflect current conditions and anticipated growth. ► A technical due diligence of airfield infrastructure and operations was completed including a review of infrastructure assets and any specific constraints to airport development. Requirements for facility improvements to support current and future operations was projected.

This makes them extremely vulnerable to any kind of disturbance. The years have seen a multitude of economic downturns, wars, acts of terrorism, diseases, aircraft crashes, and strikes suddenly shrink demand for air travel. Meanwhile, the costs of jet fuel and aircraft maintenance go up, up, and up. Survival demands that cost control must be a major ongoing effort for every airline in good times as well as bad. Over half the global profit in 2015 is expected to be generated by airlines based in North America ($15.7 billion). For North American airlines, the margin on earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) is expected to exceed 12%, more than double that of the next best performing regions of Asia-Pacific and Europe. Many airlines try to save money by short building engines. They remain legal and safe, but they do not build in longevity. I call this strategy, “saving oneself into bankruptcy”. Maintenance is an investment that returns flying hours. A significant portion of a shop visit cost is fixed and is not reduced by short building the engine. Thus, an engine that returns to the shop early has a very high maintenance cost per flying hour. Within the space of a very few years the airline that short builds its engines is churning shop visits, operations are adversely affected, and maintenance costs are out of control. A far better way to control maintenance cost is to reduce the cost of maintenance materials.

Fawcett and Fawcett: Divisibility, Technology, and the Competitive Potential of Region DIVISIBIUTY, TECHNOLOGY, AND THE COMPETITIVE POTENTIAL OF REGIONAL AIRUNES Stanley A. Fawcett and Stanley E. Fawcett ABSTRACT During the 12years following deregulation of,the airline industry, tremendous change has taken place involving both industry structure and industry competition. Much of the discussion concerning these changes has not fully considered the factor supply side of the industry, especially with respect to emerging technology and factor indivisibility. However, new technology airframe and engine design (turboprop and turbofan) and the use of new materials promises to mitigate the problems associated with aircraft size. The availability of this new technology will enable regional air carriers to implement new competitive strategies such as regional hubbing and hub bypassing. This paper discusses the impact of technology on the competitive potential of regional airlines, looking at the benefits of and impediments to such competition.
