The Project

The project "Dream of Flying" is a Zeppelin inspired personal air transportation in the year 2031.

The problem we face now is that we are so limited to this two dimensional transport network, everything is on the same level, sharing the same road with thousands of other people, pushing, squeezing trying to find a way out. There is a simple solution - give people wings to fly.
I believe flying is the next evolution of transportation. We will step into an age when we take all that messy trails of tail lights and set them free into the sky.

The road so far (Part3)....

I have decided to go with Concept 3 which has the most potential to become a new type of transporter instead of a upgrade or redesign.

This vehicle might not work (isn't suppose to?) since it is a concept for the future. Viewers, keep in mind that this is a visionary design :) so some part just have to wait for technology to catch up XD.

The theory behind Concept 3 is it utilizes all kind of natural force (that is the reason I like it so much) and they support each other. The whole vehicle is like a glider utilizing gravity and aero-dynamic lift to fly, the airship technology comes in to make the aircraft lighter for longer flying distance and also help it to take off. The only problem with gliders is they need a runway and a force to start with (or it can run off a clift) so I added a hydrogen fuelcell powered turbine engine to give it a kick!(For those of you still think hydrogen is dangerous for the airship, it is flammable but it's not the cause of the desasters. Most of the airships went down because of their size and difficulty in controlling in weather conditions.)
