Opis:Various types of equipment have been implemented worldwide to measure the coefficient of friction on aircraft taxiways. In our case, special emphasis is placed on the use of the GripTester, a British-made device whose configuration allows for continuous data collection. It operates using a braked test tire with a slip ratio of 15%. Additionally, a constant flow of water is maintained to simulate a critical scenario for aircraft operations—namely, the presence of water on the runway.
