Function

How Accomplished

• By containing compressed air in a sealed chamber.

• Higher air pressure supports higher loads.

• Larger air chamber size support higher loads.

• Like a spring, with a shock absorbing quality and the ability to reduce unnecessary motion.

• The more compressed vertically, the more protection provided for the vehicle.

• Through the footprint's ability to conforms to road surface irregularities and provided high friction.

• Through the footprint to provide straight-line stability and tractive forces in response to steering input.
