| Abstract | Results are presented of a series of tests to determine the loads experienced by a ski undercarriage while landing and during other ground manoeuvres. Tests cover a wide range of snow conditions.
Comparison is made between skis of different plan form and area. Occasional very severe vertical loads are found to result from landings made on undulating snow surfaces encountered north of the tree-line. The highest torque load on a ski may be produced by external manipulation of the aircraft unless the nature of such ground handling is restricted. |
