EVTOLs (I've been talking about it often lately) are the future of air mobility. Land spaces for transport will tend to become increasingly restricted due to the increase in vehicles on the road. Assuming strong development of this medium in the coming decades, how will the sector evolve?
Camper ready to take off
Marcelo inspired his flying house concept from the Polestar design, the brand Volvo's electric cars. Of course, everything follows that same design philosophy. Aguilar “sees” an eVTOL equipped with a protective shell capable of encapsulating a large cabin that lets natural light enter from all sides.
It is no more, no less than a lounge cabin powered by four technologically advanced micro motors, a bit like a current quadcopter. How will these “flying houses” be affected by aerodynamics? This is perhaps a question that can be asked in a few years. Once landed, the recreational aircraft puts away its wings and becomes a sort of hyper-technological and minimalist hut.
Comfortable in the clouds and on land
Inside, Polestar Air.V has a living room section, kitchen, a small bedroom, a bathroom and a balcony access area. A control station with two pilot seats is used to drive each of these flying houses. In airplane mode, the chairs (in the elevated position) face the window with control panels and, once landed, rotate around the base to meet the lounge area.
