34 FLIGHT 6 JUNE 1952 SAFETY ON TOUCHDOWN GOOD/YEAR AIRCRAFT TYRES Developed through years of research and testing, Goodyear aircraft tyres are built to " take it" on touchdown. Resistant to heat, fatigue and bruising, built to stand up to the impact of weight multiplied by m.p.h.3 they assure safety at today's high landing speeds. The All-Weather Tread illustrated is one of the variety of aircraft tyres, designed to give maximum reliability under all conditions. GOOD. CROSS WIND LANDING GEAR This patented Goodyear device permits cross-wind landings or take-offs in relative safety, without any tendency to ground loop. Castoring wheels permit a yaw of 25 ° on either side of centre while maintaining a straight course along the runway. Increased flying safety is further enhanced by the incorporation of the popular disc brake in this revolutionary castoring wheel. GOODYEAR 5T ORIGINAL DISC BRAKES The Disc Brake was first introduced by Goodyear several years ago. Since then the knowledge gained from actual operating experience has been vigorously applied, and to-day, the Goodyear Disc Brake has a reliability unique in this field. They give the pilot real confidence in landing, and sensitive control in every ground manoeuvre. Here again, Goodyear Research and Enterprise are far in the lead.
