Title :
Close-up of Shuttle tire after LSRA test
Caption :
One of the final tests of the CV-990 Landing Systems Research Aircraft (LSRA) in August, 1995 at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, resulted in the destruction of the wheel, following a fire caused by a mixture of heat, aluminum particles, and rubber. Following successful tests of tire wear at Edwards and the Kennedy Space Center, Fla., this series of roll-on-rim tests determined the failure modes of wheels for the space shuttle. In one test, the aluminum wheel locked in position and was ground to within four inches of the axle before the test concluded. The series of 155 test missions for the space shuttle program provided extensive data about the life and endurance of the shuttle tire systems and helped raise the shuttle crosswind landing limits at Kennedy. Project engineer Christopher J. Nagy said, “NASA pilots Gordon Fullerton and Terry Rager did a superb job of flying the aircraft in many difficult test situations, at speeds higher than the aircraft was intended to land, without once losing a single test flight.”
