Hüttinger Prototyping

A reference from the category Science Centers

human-powered Hovercraft

The prototype of our human-powered air cushion boat underwent several stages of development inside our in-house Prototyping department on its way to complete functionality.

The finished prototype can now be lifted off and moved forward by two persons through a pedal-powered drive. A rudder makes it possible to navigate the vehicle. To avoid unnecessary weight, the vehicle is built in lightweight design using conventional materials. The two bucket seats are adjustable according to the visitors’ physical size. All safety-relevant elements like chain drive and rotor are covered transparently, so that the technical functionality of the vehicle remains visible and comprehensible.
