Futuristic Transportation Design Concepts
Designer Lukas Medeisis’s plan for Helsinki’s future transportation 2020 aims at re-establishing a link between nature and capital city’s residents by shifting public transportation from city center to the coastline.
This according to the designer would offer daily commuters resplendent views of the long forgotten coastline as they commute every day. To offer speed and comfort, the design envisages a hovercraft-type vehicle dubbed as AirFLOW which is also apt for commutation given Helsinki’s typography largely characterized by frigid undulated terrains covered with frozen ice.
Powered by a hybrid engine, the craft has two solar-powered electric engines placed in front under the steering propellers that get juiced by transparent solar modules on the laminated polycarbonate roof.
To ensure a safe ride in the dark, the AirFLOW is equipped with LED front and rear lamps. The vehicle has space to store bicycles too and features sliding glass doors on both sides to enjoy natural beauty.
