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.

New Concept - Cockpit&Main body


In this new concept the passenger part of the airship is very important. It must have the quality of: light, compact, aerodynamic and visually appealing.


Concept1 is the one that appeals to me. The main structure/bones/chassis is a light carbon fibre structure that one piece. The passenger/pilot seat is a part of the chase which will be argonomically designed to fit all drivers. The tripod like landing gear will be another seperate piece, attached to the chassis by shock absorbers for stable landing. The cockpit part will be covered by transparent polycarbonate instead of glass for weight reduction.

Here is the rough clay model of the main chassis, just to give an idea to draw and develop on.
