The concept of a new generation passenger hovercraft.
Advanced Universal Rescue & Operations Air-cushion craft
The aim of the project is to rethink the traditional design of the SVP and show what the transport of the future can be like for operation on water, ice, snow and in coastal areas.
A new look at transportation
When developing the concept, we abandoned the usual utilitarian aesthetics of hovercrafts and focused on creating a modern, expressive image.
The project is based on several principles:
- clean aerodynamic surfaces;
- integration of all technical elements into a single volume;
- modern lighting architecture;
- minimalistic industrial design;
- high level of passenger comfort.
As a result, an image of a vehicle has been created that looks equally organic both today and in the near future.
Engineering digital model
As part of the project, a detailed three-dimensional CAD model was developed, including the outer hull, cabin, power plant, passenger compartment and main structural elements.
The digital prototype allowed us to work out:
- equipment layout;
- workplace ergonomics;
- boarding passengers;
- visibility;
- maintenance of the main nodes;
- the proportions of the body and the aerodynamics of the external surfaces.
Interior design
Special attention was paid to the interior of the passenger cabin.
The interior concept is built around the feeling of modern premium class transportation. The space is designed in a minimalistic style using large areas of glazing, integrated LED lighting, modern seating and a digital pilot's workplace.
This approach makes the cabin not only functional, but also creates a new user experience that is rarely found in existing vessels of this class.
Visualization of the future product
A series of high-quality photorealistic visualizations were created for the project, demonstrating the vessel in various operating conditions.
Images allow you to evaluate not only the appearance of the product, but also the atmosphere of the future product, show it to potential customers and use it in presentations, investment materials and marketing campaigns even before the appearance of a physical prototype.
Industrial design research
The AURORA project has become a platform for our studio to explore modern approaches to vehicle design.
During the development process, we studied:
- new architectural solutions of the building;
- integration of lighting design;
- application of digital interfaces;
- development of the corporate identity of the product;
- a combination of engineering logic and emotional perception of design.
The solutions obtained are subsequently used in the development of other studio transportation projects.
Full development cycle
The AURORA project demonstrates the capabilities of RENDERWORKS to create complex transport systems, from an idea to a fully developed digital prototype.
The following tasks were performed within the framework of the project:
- concept research;
- industrial design;
- corporate identity development;
- exterior and interior design;
- highly detailed CAD modeling;
- creation of presentation materials;
- photorealistic visualization.
AURORA is a study of the future of passenger transport, where engineering, industrial design and digital technologies are combined into a single product.
