2.  Spatial transportation: the SpaceLiner.  Ground transportation: the Hyperloop.  Aerial transportation: the flying car.  Transportation over the sea: ultimate sailing technologies. Contents

3. Space nowadays

4. Space innovations The future of space Suborbital flights Space tourism

5. Space Liner Main characteristics -Hypersonic velocity -Suborbital spaceplane -Length 65m -Max altitude 80km -OEW 145t

6. -50 pax from Australia to Europe in 90 minutes! -All Europe in less than 60 minutes! -Rehusable vehicle Space Liner

7. Hyperloop The transport revolution

8. Hyperloop Conventional types of transport

9. Hyperloop The inventor

10. Hyperloop Main objective and specifications Compared to the other alternatives of transport, Hyperloop should be: -Safer -Faster -Lower cost -More convenient -Immune to weather -Sustainably self-powering

11. Hyperloop -28 Air bearings -Low pressure -15000kg - 1220 kph -Rotor mounted in the capsule and stator in the tube How it works

12. Hyperloop Viability 7.4 million people every year 20$ for one way trip Amortizing the cost in 20 years

13. Hyperloop Conclusions

23. “Mark my word: a combination airplane and motorcar is coming. You may smile, but it will come.” Henry Ford, 1940.

24. Ultimate sailing technology

25. Speed = Pressure How a foil works -Bernoulli’s principle:

26. Ultimate sailing technology -Better aerodynamic properties than conventional sails. -Extreme high speeds. -Made of carbon fiber. -Hydraulic control system. -Too heavy. -Difficult to handle.

27. Ultimate sailing technology -The result force of the hydrofoils lifts the hull out of the water. -Decrease drag. -Increase speed. -Difficult control of the boat out of the water. -Light hull.

28. Ultimate sailing technology

29. -Improve stabillity and control. -Lighter materials. -Higher resistence. -Soft wingsails.

30. Conclusions Spacelinear Flying car Ultimate Sailing Technologies Hyperloop
