Abstract: Developing desert tire is one of the key technology for developing desert vehicles. Based on bionics principles, the principal model of the bionic camel foot tire was set up, and the rubber model of the bionic camel foot tire was developed. The design parameters of the bionic camel foot rubber tire were defined, and the performance tests of the bionic camel foot tire were done in the indoor sand tank. It was found that the bionic camel foot tire has higher trafficability .
