Model of air cushion technology super car of the future

Fascinated by the idea of ​​the development of air cushion motion designs in the last few decades, Michael Mercier and Chris Jones have teamed up to create a personal sports car for the century. 21.

Mercier and Jones' designs have the looks of futuristic cars often seen in fantasy movies and inspired by sports cars. This air cushion model has been confirmed by the two designers to be quieter, easier to control and also more environmentally friendly than the designs that existed before.

The common difficulty when controlling is the biggest weakness of current air cushion models. The vehicle control system of Mercier and Jones designed to allow their models to drive and brake like the cars on land, however, their new air-cushion vehicle control system still has to wait. censored and patented before being used. In their design, the forward and backward movements as well as the side movements of the car will be adjusted by fans mounted on the front sides of the vehicle. Each fan side will work independently of each other, allowing users to control the vehicle more easily.

Inspired by the maritime industry, automatics as well as from spacecraft models, the Mercier-Jones is designed with lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, aluminum, fiberglass and industry plywood. ship building. However, this model will be created with previous technologies, with production methods still used today to reduce product costs. 2 designers hope to create an air cushion with a price of under 20,000 USD (only about 400 million VND).

This air cushion is designed to use both gasoline and electric power at the same time. Although the locomotive is powered by gasoline, the motor of the motor will operate with electric power to increase efficiency as well as reduce noise when operating. Unlike previously known airplanes or airplanes, the driver of the Mercier-Jones vehicle will not have to use any ear protectors when in use.

Because they are just freelance designers, Mercier and Jones are trying to raise money, make enough money to build and test their first models. With 1 USD contributed, you will have the opportunity to test the car as soon as the first test is complete and of course you can contribute to the 2 designers by pre-ordering the product at a price of 15,000 USD. The two young designers hope to reach the $ 50,000 mark on the 22nd of this month and they will soon start building their first air cushion model.

Michael Mercier and Chris Jones hope the plan will succeed and expect the success of their design. The intention of Mercier and Jones is to complete manufacturing as well as all the tests on this new model around May 2013.
