Air Vehicle

Here is a selection of different air vehicles including jets and bombers. The different roles the vehicles take on have a direct effect on the vehicles design. This was something to keep in mind when designing the vast airships. I was particularly interested in key elements within the jets as well as their function. Nearly all the air vehicles had air intakes which supply air to the engines which not only helps the combustion process but also funnels the air into a much smaller space which propels the aircraft through the air. When designing the aircraft it was crucial to understand this as well as the importance of aerodynamics and the way in which air moves over the surface of a wing generating lift. These could be applied to my aircraft which would ultimately give it an aesthetic look. However, it was also my job to break the laws of science and technology to generate an entirely new vehicle which looked and felt futuristic.

When working on the project I saw an opportunity to strengthen my modeling and conceptual skills especially when designing the craft that would appear in the final clip. I also wanted to make use of this project in other ways such as increasing my knowledge in fields like lighting and texturing that would be greatly beneficial for future projects.

Here are some images which I used as reference when constructing the airships. I also referenced some vehicles from films to help the design process.
