We can provide custom UAV tires matching custom UAV wheels.
The molded tires can be of two technologies.
Plain Foamed Molded rubber ( PFM )
Inflatable Kevlar belted Molded tires (IKM )
- PFM tires are the most simple form of custom tires. They are suitable for smal/ medium UAVs.
Pros:
. They can be produced relatively fast
. They require no maintenance.
. They are easy to replace
. They are cheaper
Cons:
. They are heavier
. They are limited in rotational speed ( max 20 m/s outer surface velocity )
. They are limited in size ( max 10 " )
2. IKM tire are more advanced tires. They are suitable for medium/ large UAVs
Pros:
. They are lighter
. They sustain high surface velocity/ high rotational speeds.
. They are not limited in size
Cons:
. They are puncture/ flats sensitive
. They require inflation/ maintenance/ pressure inspection
. They are more difficult to replace
. They are more expensive
