Engineering Research Project

Hello,

I am currenlty working on a Mechanical Engineering project focused on creating new trailer tire wheels. I am performing some preliminary market research and need some help. I have attached a link at the bottom to a short survey ( 5-10 min ). If you have the time, please fill it out. If you have any specific comments about the survey, or any ideas about new trailer tires, please feel free to message me directly. Thank you so much for your help.

 At least one airless tire design is presently being used(has been for at least 10 years) on equipment in salvage yards where there is a lot of small pieces of metal lying around to cause a flat.

I remember years ago I saw that picture of a wheel being considered for automobiles, I forget the reasons it was not feasible-at that time.

edit: I do remember one reason it was not feasible, driving through mud. Mud would enter the webbing and cause a severe out-of-balance condition.
