    Airless tire

    Would be good for the airline industry & weight savings.

    Also, when the aircraft has a brake failure, they won't have to worry about those tires getting hot.

    that is interesting... wonder if it'll be able to hold up to the weight and speeds of a 744 landing.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
