TheFuture — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:11:54 +0000

The Nissan Land Glider is a compact electric vehicle concept that features an innovative computer controlled steering system, allowing the car lean into the turns for better balance. The driver seat is placed centrally inside the narrow cabin of this two-seater car and another seat for the passenger is located directly behind the driver’s seat. The steering wheel has been designed like a flight yoke and cameras and monitors have replaced the rear view mirrors. The dashboard is one more thing of the car that you have never seen in any other cars. With the potentially lighter weight and narrow profile, this electric car is being expected to hit the crowd soon.

Glider Reminds Me of The Dolphin

TheFuture — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 08:10:29 +0000

Glider by Regimantas Vegele sure seems to be an exciting concept. This aero-dynamic design of course reminds me of the dolphin, it does have a mesmerizing presence with its elongated wings. The long wings illustrate an image of a bird floating and circulating in the air. The designers not just took care of the aesthetic appeal of the glider, but also have addressed the safety concerns of the ones inside the glider; all this while giving ample amount of leg room. With a seating capacity for 2, the seats are also quite innovatively designed and seem quite comfortable for the fliers. All said and done this sure is one of the concepts to watch out for.
