Abstract

Some parameters important for the process of tank design were considered in the paper. These parameters are related to the tank layout, armored protection armament, ammunition, basic dimensions, ground pressure and tank mass. The mutual arrangement of engine, transmission and crew was analyzed and the basic performances of power plant and the running gear were considered. Some aspects of human engineering were pointed out as well.
