China Aviation News: Goodyear is working with the U.S. Department of Defense, Air Force Research Laboratory, BioMade and Farmed Materials to commercialize natural rubber made from dandelion, Aviation Online reported on April 11.
Natural rubber is commonly used in military, aircraft and truck tires, and the Department of Defense has listed it as a strategic raw material.
More than 90% of the world's natural rubber comes from rubber trees, but the problem is that rubber trees usually take seven years to produce a sufficient amount of latex, but dandelions can be harvested every six months.
Over the next two months, Goodyear and its partners will plant dandelion seeds in Ohio, and the harvested dandelions will be used to produce military aircraft tires that will be tested at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.
