The Goodyear Flight Eagle 350K02-1 is a high-performance aircraft tire designed for business turboprop and light jet aircraft. Tire size is H35 x 11.0-18 inches, has a 20 Ply rating, and is tubeless. It supports loads up to 23,400 pounds at 216 psi, with a speed rating of 225 mph.

With a strong bias-ply construction and wear-resistant tread, it provides excellent braking performance and durability. The 350K02-1 is approved for Gulfstream G500, 550, Gulfstream V and V-SP aircraft.

The Goodyear Flight Eagle 350K02-1 is designed as a“higher percent deflection” tire, as noted by the “H” in front of the tire size.
Higher percent deflection indicates that the tire is designed to flex more under load, certified to safely absorb higher landing energies, and matched to aircraft that rely on tire compliance as part of their landing gear system.

Goodyear Flight Eagle Features

Computer Aided Design (CAD)

Flight Eagle tires are developed with CAD modeling to predict stress distribution, deformation, and heat buildup during ground operations. Digital simulations allow engineers to refine bead geometry, casing ply orientation, and tread profile before prototype construction.

  • Result: Reduced trial-and-error in testing, improved uniformity in final production, and optimized performance under repeated takeoff and landing cycles.

Wear Resistant Tread

The tread utilizes proprietary rubber formulations with high abrasion resistance. These compounds resist mechanical wear from high-friction braking and scuffing on taxiways. The chemistry balances hardness (for wear) and elasticity (for crack resistance).

  • Result: Lower material loss per cycle, longer intervals between removals, and less casing damage, supporting multiple retread cycles.

Optimized Tread Pattern

Tread groove design is engineered to maintain directional stability and braking efficiency under both dry and wet runway conditions. Water evacuation channels reduce hydroplaning risk, while shoulder geometry distributes ground contact evenly.

  • Result: Predictable handling during rollout, reduced risk of skidding, and improved wear uniformity across the tread footprint.

Durable Casing Construction

Bias-ply or radial casing construction (depending on Flight Eagle variant) employs high-strength nylon and composite reinforcement. Ply angles and layer counts are optimized for high cyclic loading. Reinforced bead areas improve fit to wheel rim under pressure and torque.

  • Result: Casing resists deformation, impact, and heat-related fatigue, allowing multiple retread operations while retaining structural integrity.

Fuel and Weight savings

Material distribution within the tire is calculated to achieve strength with minimal mass. Lower mass contributes to overall aircraft weight savings, which can improve payload margins and reduce fuel burn. Additionally, lower rolling resistance during taxi reduces ground handling power requirements.

  • Result: Reduced operational weight penalties and improved efficiency without compromising structural durability.

Retreadability

Casing design and protective tread compounds extend usable life by minimizing structural damage. Bead durability and ply stability allow multiple retread cycles without loss of performance margins.

  • Result: Lower life-cycle cost, with tires capable of two or more retreadings depending on service conditions.

Enhanced Heat Resistance

Heat buildup is a critical factor during takeoff and landing cycles. The Flight Eagle incorporates rubber compounds with controlled hysteresis to reduce heat generation, and casing geometry that improves thermal dissipation.

  • Result: Maintains structural stability at high operating temperatures, reducing risk of blowout or delamination in heavy braking scenarios.

Proven OEM and Operator Approval

Flight Eagle tires undergo certification testing to meet FAA/EASA performance standards and OEM qualification requirements. This includes endurance, high-speed, load, and environmental testing to validate casing strength, tread wear, and safety margins.

Result: Accepted as original equipment and in-service replacement by multiple aircraft manufacturers and operators, confirming compliance with regulatory and operational benchmarks.
