These are the 3 concept directions.
This is a concept drived from traditional airships. It has enough volume to carry hydrogen to lift about 3-4 people (a family) The airship has a large surface area, so it will glide like a kite. For propulsion the airship can change it’s density by lowering thehydrogen level, so when it’s heavy gravity will pull it down hense giving it momentum. This momentum will be utilized to drive the airship forward.
This concept is a hybrid of ground vehicle and air transport. A light weight ground vehicle is privately owned by the user and work the same way as an electric car. But if you like to travel long distance or don’t want to get cought in traffic, you can order an air transport survice. There are free airships floating around the city, and you can find a docking area for the airship to pick you up. The airship will pick up the car by mounting themselves to the specially designed wheels. This will be a charged survice.
This concept is the most compact, suited the design schematic the most. The idea is to create a single person transport “POD” which is compact and easy to use. The vehicle is a hybrid of different systems, it uses hydrogen fuel cell powered turbine engine for thrust and aid lift, the wings are foldable and inflateble with hydrogen to utilize buoyancy to lift the vehicle. The large wing span and aerodynamic shape allows the vehicle to glide in the sky, the turbine thruster will only act as an aid for longer and faster flight. The package of the vhicle should be simple for light weight purpose.
