DUNLOP LTD were selected to supply the tyres, wheels, and brakes, (hydraulic aspects are dealt with elsewhere). As in all cases of aircraft design, space, weight, performance and cost were of particular importance. The selection of suppliers for the MRCA was no exception when competing against many rivals and the division's experience and technology, particularly in the field of tyre, brake and anti‐skid design was an important factor in the final choice. The capability Dunlop has of type testing such equipment using the most advanced dynamometer in the world was also a contributory factor when developing such an important project.
