for MichelinChallngeDesing 2018​

"

As I have chosen one much classic vehicle a JaguarXJ as my artwork pattern and put it into an flying hovercraft mode, this should make it the Best in Show in the Michelin Concours d’Elegance 2050.   There might come out a doubt if we will use flying vehicles at that time, the answer would be Yes, as today you already can buy a flying car at aeromobil.com or lilium.com. The apearance is much classic so i see it as an collectible piece. The signal of a break with the past is important because the civil traffic will move its boundaries into skyes for sure, still the deliver to door service stayes in game as the close to ground belt drive mode will this vehicle provide. Even it underlines its sleak, sporty apearance. The brand of my design is not that much important as its shape reminding of a classic sedan with an elegant apearance showing the society the owners social status so speaks to an more conservative citizens as it is in Bladerunner2049. The hovercraft theme will at the time of 2025 be widely provided service of an transporter, so mostly the fine services of an vehicle will be finetuned. In my case am focusing on its apearance speaking to an elegant, classic society and ladies naturally. The undercarriage - wheel belts with an greater grip surface and lowering the driver position for greater stability completely covered inside the hovercraft body. Only by round surfaces displaying presenece of the wheels are minimising drag and maximising aerodynamic stability and also electricity consumption as a result. Effective illumination of the road and in the air an essential component of vehicle safety. Aerospace lighting technologies, delivering  effective functionality in all conditions. Recovery parachute for emergency landing is provided. Smartphone glass windshield covers the passangerspace with a display setup similar with those in the aviation world. These displays show all the necessary information to the automotive operation and during flight. Cockpit structure in detail - is made up of 3D printed ABS plastics plus carbon fibre fillament which holds the occupants in safe cage and the EV Propeller flight noozles of this hovercraft are attached to it and it is ultralight. Structural monocoque is manufactured in one piece. This complex 3D printed mounts assembly carries all the weight of the hovercraft as well as the electric motors and battries and passangers. Colour of the interior can change to personal settings, also the ambient light. Connectivity if You wish to work or relax even maybe print out documents. Complete Flight is controlled by an Nvidia AI Computer.  Automated Landing and Take-Off by Autopilot on nearby Landing Pad is provided by GPS. As this CONCEPT is an combination of a vehicle and a Electric Jet the Door To Door delivery comfort stays still in game
