Trafficability Tests with the Airoll on Organic and Mineral Soils
Abstract
The Airoll represents a new concept of locomotion. Its propulsion system comprises free-rolling, low-pressure, pneumatic tires mounted on endless chains rotating about driving sprockets and return idlers. It can move with two different and distinct types of action of the tires on the ground--rolling-wheel track and stationary-wheel track actions. Self-propelled, towing, and towed tests were conducted on a range of soils to determine the Airoll's performance under off-road conditions.
