All the hype about flying cars has posed a good question: What type of tires can both drive on the road and fly? It seems Goodyear has a tire they want to propose called Aero that integrates a multimodal tilt-rotor concept.
On display as a physical prototype at the Geneva Motor Show, the Aero is surrounded by rubber tread for traction on the road but doesn’t have a pneumatic air chamber, according to新地图集.There are integrated spokes flex that absorb shocks with its non-pneumatic structure while still being strong enough to support the vehicle.
轮胎通过修改轮胎位置来改变形状，以适应飞行或驾驶。他们在开车时保持垂直于道路，当他们起飞飞行时，两个轮胎彼此对角线，摇摆并平行于道路。这两个轮胎充当“螺旋桨”并开始旋转。磁力可提供无摩擦推进，并为地面驾驶和空中飞行提供高旋转速度。辐条充当转子叶片，产生足够的魅力以将汽车从地面上抬起，然后对方轮胎摇摆并旋转以旋转四轮驱动器式的升降机。
一旦车辆在空中，ERO将成为向前飞行的螺旋桨。由于轮胎需要连续旋转，因此它们将使用零摩擦磁推进系统。
The company also said the tires would contain fiber optic sensors that would monitor road conditions, and indicate tire wear and structural integrity. The data would then be analyzed by an onboard artificial intelligence processor that would recommend driving or flying based on the conditions.
“超过120年来，固特年一直在痴迷地追求创新和发明，与开拓者的开拓者合作，在运输中推动变革和发现。随着移动性公司寻求向天空寻求应对城市运输和拥堵挑战的答案，我们在高级轮胎建筑和材料方面的工作使我们想象一个轮子可以用作道路上的传统轮胎，又可以作为推进系统。固特异首席技术官克里斯·赫尔塞尔（Chris Helsel）说。
