Abstract

Provided is a pneumatic radial tire for an aircraft including a bead core, a radial carcass and a stiffener, the radial carcass including one or more turn-up plies and one or more down plies, wherein in tire axial direction cross-sectional view, when an intersection point of a virtual circle with a ply closest to a tire axial direction inner side of the stiffener among the plies intersecting with the virtual circle having a radius that is twice as large as a diameter D of the bead core from a center O of the bead core is a point A, an intersection point of the virtual circle with a ply closest to a tire axial direction outer side of the stiffener is a point B, and a midpoint between the point A and the point B is a reference point C, then a line segment OC connecting the center O of the bead core to the reference point C has an inclination angle θ of 17° or less to a tire radial direction line passing the center O of the bead core on the tire axial direction outer side.

Claims (10)

1. A pneumatic radial tire for an aircraft, comprising a bead core including a pair of cable beads, a radial carcass including a plurality of plies toroidally extending between the bead cores, and a stiffener disposed adjacent to the bead core on a tire radial direction outer side of the bead core,

the radial carcass comprising one or more turn-up plies including a windup portion wound up around the bead core from an inner side to an outer side in a tire axial direction, and one or more down plies that cover the windup portion and extend to a radial direction inner side of at least the bead core, wherein

in tire axial direction cross-sectional view in a state where the tire is mounted to a rim, is not filled with an internal pressure, and is unloaded,

when an intersection point of a virtual circle with a ply closest to a tire axial direction inner side of the stiffener among the plies intersecting with the virtual circle having a radius that is twice as large as a diameter D of the bead core from a center corresponding to a center O of the bead core is a point A, an intersection point of the virtual circle with a ply closest to a tire axial direction outer side of the stiffener is a point B, and a midpoint between the point A and the point B is a reference point C,

then a line segment OC connecting the center O of the bead core to the reference point C has an inclination angle θ of 17° or less to a tire radial direction line passing the center O of the bead core on the tire axial direction outer side.

2. The pneumatic radial tire for the aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein the inclination angle θ is 0° or more.

3. The pneumatic radial tire for the aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter D (mm) of the bead core and a prescribed load E (N) determined for each tire satisfy a relation of Formula (I) as follows:

520 ≤E/D 2 ≤940  Formula (I).

4. The pneumatic radial tire for the aircraft according to claim 2 , wherein the diameter D (mm) of the bead core and a prescribed load E (N) determined for each tire satisfy a relation of Formula (I) as follows:

520 ≤E/D 2 ≤940  Formula (I).
