Operators of the A400M military transport
aircraft are set to benefit from new foreign object damage (FOD)
resistance tyre technology that has been developed by Dunlop
Aircraft Tyres.
Dunlop tyres will be
fitted to the first Airbus Military A400M transport aircraft which
is due to be delivered to the French Air Force, as well as the
EADS aircraft being displayed at the Paris Air Show.
The new tyre features the proven sidewall FOD resistance of bias
tyres, which are more suited to operations from semi and unprepared airstrips, as well as advanced materials designed to
give improved protection in the tread area.
“Our new tyres
for the A400M are an example of Dunlop continuing to push the
boundaries in both civil and military tyre technology,” said the
company’s chairman, Ian Edmondson. “They build on our
experience in the military sector and will help protect the
aircraft when it operates to and from unprepared airstrips.”
More than 170 Airbus Military A400M transport aircraft have
been ordered by Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Malaysia,
Spain, Turkey and the UK and they will be delivered on Dunlop
tyres.
