Private Helicopter

Private Helicopter is a cabin interior design for a light private helicopter. The layout includes seats, a central console, ceiling lighting and a ventilation unit. Styling is inspired by high-end race car interiors, with angular lines and a palette of beige, grey and black with blue accents. Speakers inside the upper seat structure support an active noise cancellation system, so passengers do not need headphones. The seat bottom and backrest are ventilated, and each passenger can adjust the airflow and the temperature.

WF01TR

WF01TR is a racing wheelchair developed for short-distance track events. The design is lightweight and rigid, and supports high acceleration. Body hold and stability during cornering are improved. The frame is a carbon fiber reinforced plastic monocoque, designed with finite element analysis. Each unit is made to order. The seat position is set with a seat position simulator, and a three-dimensional scan of the body shape is applied to the seat. The aim is to help each athlete use their own abilities fully.

Dancer

Dancer is an electric city bus developed for urban public transport. The body structure is formed from five large modules, using construction methods found in wind turbines and racing yachts. The composite material combines glass fibre, vinyl ester resin and recycled PET foam, so the body is light, strong and ready for recycling. Curved sidewalls add strength, and the rounded plan view improves manoeuvrability. A rear screen improves visibility for other drivers and can also show advertising. Charging takes six minutes for a range of 100 kilometres.

The exterior has a sharp black contoured face with split headlights, a dynamic body and an aerodynamic cover for the compressed natural gas tanks. The monocoque chassis is made of steel and aluminium. Interliner is intended as an economic and low emission solution for regular routes.

Zeaim

Zeaim is a zero-emission aircraft designed for urban air mobility. Zeaim carries up to four people and needs no pilot, so special training is not required. Vertical take-off and landing, as well as short-distance take-off and landing, are supported. Two propulsion options are offered: four hydrogen-powered engines or four electric motors. Landing skids or three-cycle landing gear can be fitted. The fuselage and engine ducts are made of modern composites, and many parts are produced by 3D printing. The form is inspired by water bugs.

Komi

Komi is a compact electric car with three doors and four seats. The overall length is under three meters, which suits crowded urban areas and small parking spaces. The body is built with a stamping process and more than sixty percent high strength steel to protect occupants. An electronic stability control system, an anti-lock braking system and an electronic parking brake are integrated. The maximum speed is 120 kilometers per hour and the driving range reaches 300 kilometers. The design follows European M1 safety rules within the size limits of the Japanese K-car standard.
