Inspiration

Ground Effect Vehicles and Hovercrafts. Since the gravity and air density is favorable for these vehicles, we decided to draw inspiration from things that already use them.

What it does

Our "Ambulance" uses lift and ground effect to fly/hover above the ground. This allows for stable movement without needing to invest heavily in infrastructure.

How we built it

We researched real life models (Airfish 8), and based it on that. We mainly uses drafts to decide the visual concept and then tried CADing models.

Challenges we ran into

There were a lot of constraints, which made it difficult to decide on a concept. We ended up using a scoring table to compare all the ideas/options focus on the better concepts.
