Skybridge

by sxdesign for Beihang University

Designed for ship to island cargo transport, this helicopter draws biomimetic inspiration from marine organisms' hydrodynamic efficiency. The streamlined fuselage and rotor system, engineered through analysis of oceanic lifeforms' drag resistant structures, achieves 260kg payload capacity, 6,000m altitude with 12m/s wind resistance, via biomechanically optimized airframe and multi hook suspension. These redefine maritime logistics, specifically solving last mile delivery challenges for portless islands.
