Aircraft Tire Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2028

 

Aircraft tyres are highly engineered and complex aircraft parts. Steel, cord fabric, natural or artificial rubber, and other chemicals are used in the manufacture of aircraft tyres. Cords are used in aircraft tyres to provide dimensional stability, support the aircraft weight, and keep the tyre in shape on different road conditions.

Nitrogen, rather than air, is used to fill large aircraft tyres. Air is a gas mixture that, at low atmospheric temperatures and pressures, can freeze inside tyres and, at high temperatures and pressures, can explode.

An Aircraft Tire, also known as a tyre, is designed to withstand extremely heavy loads for short periods of time. The number of tyres required for aircraft grows in proportion to the aircraft's weight, as the weight of the aircraft must be distributed more evenly. Aircraft tyre tread patterns are designed to aid in stability in high crosswind conditions, to channel water away from the aircraft to prevent hydroplaning, and to provide braking effect.

Fusible plugs (which are assembled on the inside of the wheels) are also used in aircraft tyres and are designed to melt at a certain temperature. Tires frequently overheat when maximum braking is applied during a failed takeoff or emergency landing. The fuses provide a safer failure mode by deflating tires in a controlled manner, thereby minimising aircraft damage.

Growth in the aviation sector is a major factor influencing the size of the aircraft tyre market. Aircraft Tire are widely used in the commercial, industrial, and defence sectors. The significant increase in air passengers is one of the major factors affecting the aircraft market.

Aircraft Tire article provides an overview of the tyre types used in aircraft and describes best practises for tyre handling and maintenance.

The recommendations do not supersede local storage facility regulations, ground transportation restrictions, or current aviation authority requirements. Depending on local regulations, it may be the operator's or the tyre handler's (shipping or storage) responsibility to ensure compliance.

Key Players

Goodyear, Michelin, Bridgestone, and Dunlop Aircraft Tires are some of the major players in the aircraft tyre market.
