Parts of two proposed runways located in the alkali flat area of White Sands Missile Range were subjected to traffic applied with a test load cart having a maximum gross weight of 280,000 lb carried on a twin-twin gear assembly having a tire inflation pressure of approximately 300 psi. The primary objectives were to determine (a) the load-carrying capacity of the area in regard to current Air Force aircraft, (b) the effect of repetitive traffic, and (c) an evaluation of the area for the operation of skid-mounted vehicles.
