extracted text (Extract Text): “PINWHEEL" TIRES that spin in the slip stream
as a plane comes in for a landing mean longer tire
life and smoother landings. Rubber-and-fabric
fins attached to the side walls open to catch the
wind and start the wheel turning, then close in the
upper part of the revolution. By getting the wheels
up nearly to the landing speed of the plane, this
plan eliminates the burning and scuffing that re-
sult when tires are jerked from a standstill to
high speed in a few seconds. The B. F. Goodrich
Company developed the self-starting tires, one of
which is seen in the photograph above.
