I love the design of that wheel. Is it yet in production for other applications eg F1, automotive, aircraft etc? love to read some science stuff on it
That's a model of the #Mars2020
rover wheels, which are designed to be more durable than those on @MarsCuriosity. The new wheels are thicker skinned, slightly narrower and have new treads whose gentle S-curve and shallower angle reduce stress where they join the wheel.
