Innovative Aircraft Designs: Students at the American University in Dubai Showcase Future Transportation Concepts
American University in Dubai students showcase innovative aircraft designs at Dezeen School Show
Students at the American University in Dubai’s Centre for Research, Innovation and Design (CRID), School of Architecture, Art and Design (SAAD) have unveiled groundbreaking aircraft designs as part of Dezeen’s latest school show.
Under the guidance of tutor Dr. Georges Kachaamy, students in the DDFT 373 – Virtual Designs course used immersive virtual reality (VR) techniques to create advanced industrial products. The course challenged students to reimagine the future of transportation by designing prototypes of airborne vehicles, resulting in innovative concepts that balance aesthetic elegance with functional excellence.
One standout design is the Aeromatrix, a hybrid aerial and tactical vehicle designed by student Muhammad Yusupov. Equipped with advanced surveillance technology, the Aeromatrix offers police officers a secure platform for patrolling the city with efficiency and agility.
Another impressive design is the Astroguard, a flying police car created by student Lina El Ouafi. Inspired by Dubai’s technological advancements and commitment to public safety, the Astroguard embodies progress and innovation in law enforcement.
Other designs showcased include the Chroma Ride, a vibrant flying vehicle designed as a school bus for children, and the G55 Cyber Drone, equipped with advanced signal interception and facial recognition technology for police surveillance.
These innovative aircraft designs not only showcase the students’ creativity and technical skills but also highlight the potential of VR as a transformative tool in design and innovation. The partnership between Dezeen and the American University in Dubai has provided a platform for these talented students to showcase their visionary concepts and contribute to the future of virtual designs.
