The main purpose and current use of the Traveller is to shuttle people to and from the ports with ease and speed. It’s the shuttle of the future, with the potential applications for a wider public transport system. Further progress within the project has opened new ideas to continued development in the public sector. The Traveller is equipped with antigravity systems to help propel it above ground and use a variation of our in house designed Ion engines to accelerate and stabilize the craft.
Standing at 3.7 metres high, the Traveller spans a good 13 metres and a wide 3 metres to better accommodate its passengers. It has a total passenger capacity of about 80 people and about half for seated. While the current use of the Traveller only accommodates about a fraction of those numbers, we strive to make sure the passengers are comfortable and don’t feel packed.
The overall design of the Traveller is partly inspired by the accommodations of transit shuttles and with the exteriors with an out of this world craft. Surrounding the Traveller are windows that give passengers the opportunity to see what’s around them. This design choice was made as the Traveller is mostly used as shuttles to and from ports, therefore most of its passengers are either visiting or coming back home. Giving them the opportunity to see their travels adds to their experience.
As mentioned before, to go along with its advanced designs and systems are the its advanced equipment. The Traveller is helped propelled and stabilized by an antigravity system, which helps lift it off the ground. Using Ion engines also helps in the stabilization of the Traveller, as it doesn’t have wings, but spoilers that deal with its aerodynamics.
