airplane concept
for Bauhaus Luftfahrt e.V. Munich
Landing gear and tires are about 20 % of an average airplanes weight. Therefore aviation industries are searching for alternatives. Our concept combines lightweight hovercraft technologies and a box wing airplane. This light airplane consumes less fuel, saves time and needs less space while landing and take off. The result: a lot of energy could be saved and the whole infra structure of airports could be changed in the future as well. Project partner: Jan Weigand.
