Volkswagen Aqua Hovercraft Concept

The Volkswagen Aqua is a hovercraft concept designed by 21-year old Chinese designer Yuhan Zhang, who recently graduated from Xihua University with honors in Industrial Design. The concept base was to create a vehicle that would handle all types of terrains, as part of the Cars Design Awards China, with a simple brief: “Chinese off-road vehicle by Volkswagen”. Like most hovercrafts, the Aqua uses multiple engines: the first one inflates the skirt around the vehicle and is powered by hydrogen fuel cells, and four more individual electric engines power the fans that move the vehicle.
