World-unique tire testing capability saves millions for warfighters

Secretary of the Air Force Barbara M. Barrett visited the Landing Gear Test Facility at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, as part of her April 21, 2020 visit. The LGTF has developed a novel ground test capability that is able to identify, characterize, and classify tire wear under realistic operational conditions, which can significantly reduce acquisition development timelines, life cycle costs and mishap risks.
