Airbia lets suburban commuters fly high

airbia 01

One of the 20 outstanding finalists in ReBurbia competition, “Airbia” is ingeniously designed airship that offers an incredible flight from suburban homes to urban city centers. Alexandros Tsolakis and Irene Shamma’s creation is a transformation from the hectic and unpleasant polluted road trips to a freshening sky touching flight. This fantastic eco-friendly airship is an inspiration from zeppelin technologies which uses helium for easy hovering in a much economic manner. It replaces the need for major airship stations with scattered network of station-platforms requiring limited infrastructure. The entire system is highly flexible consisting only staircases, lifts and ticket spaces offering simple landing and passenger access. With a seating provision for 400 people, the aircraft travels 30-500 meters above the ground, at an average speed of 150 km/h. Offering such delight and comfort to suburban commutes, Airbia is here to redefine the transportation system between the suburbs and the city centers, creating pollution free, non-traffic pickup and drop-off platforms, covering all the borders of the city. The prevailing transport industry is sure to feel insecure with Airbia entering into the big picture.
