Abstract

Verbatim from FAA-affiliated R&D (MITRE / Volpe / FAA Tech Center). Not paraphrased, not summarized.

Volpe runway friction research — relates surface friction-coefficient measurements (Mu-meter, runway-friction tester) to actual aircraft stopping performance on contaminated surfaces. Drives TALPA / RCAM reporting standards.
