FLIGHT 19 JAXUARY 1950 THE PROBLEM CROSS-WIND LANDING THE SOLUTION: GOODYEAR CROSS-WIND LANDING GEAR Aircraft after touch-doivn. Castoring wheels automatic- ally turn towards direction of landing roll. Aircraft before touch-down. Castoring wheels pointing across runway. Single runway aerodromes hold no terrors for pilots flying aircraft fitted with Goodyear Cross-Wind Landing Gear. They can make a smooth, safe landing or take-off—straight along the runway—whatever the wind- direction may be. This device permits a yaw of 250 on either side of centre while the aircraft follows a course parallel to the direction of the runway. The Ground-Looping Bogey is banished. •;.•«?"** A further safety factor is the popular and reliable Goodyear Single-disc Brake, which is always fitted to the castoring wheels of this revolutionary landing gear.
