This Is the Science Behind NASA’s New Airless Tire

NASA is trying to reinvent the wheel, in literal and figurative manner. While the probes and satellites of NASA are busy discovering new corners of the space, the engineers and scientists are trying to create a perfect combination of wheel and tire. The latest innovation is based on an idea that has been here for years i.e. to have an airless tire. The airless tire will use shape-memory alloy as radial stiffening elements that will maximize the advantages and capabilities of the tire. The name given to the innovative tire is Super elastic Tire
