Ekranoplan Design & Prototype Development

Job ID: 39217970

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I am looking for an aerospace engineer, industrial designer, or expert in aerodynamic vehicles to develop the design and prototype of an ultralight ekranoplan with hybrid propulsion (gasoline engine + electric motors).

Project Requirements:
✅ Capacity: 3 people + luggage.
✅ Propulsion: Gasoline engine + 2 electric motors.
✅ Materials: Lightweight structure (carbon fiber, aluminum, or composite materials).
✅ Optimized design: Uses ground effect for flight efficiency.
✅ Cruise speed: 90-120 km/h.
✅ Expected range: 7-10 hours with a hybrid system.
✅ 3D modeling and simulations: Evaluate aerodynamics and efficiency.
✅ Complete technical blueprints: For manufacturing and assembly.

Tasks to Be Completed:
1️⃣ Concept design and 3D modeling.
2️⃣ Aerodynamic and structural simulations.
3️⃣ Hybrid propulsion system optimization.
4️⃣ Cost estimation for manufacturing.
5️⃣ Detailed blueprints for a functional prototype.

Budget:
? Negotiable based on experience and project quality.

? If you have experience in aircraft design, hovercraft, or experimental vehicles, I’d love to work with you! ?
