Flike Passenger Drone

Revolutionizing Personal Aerial Transportation

The Flike Passenger Drone, designed by Maform Design Studio, is a groundbreaking concept that combines the thrill of flying with the convenience of personal transportation. Inspired by speed motorcycles, drones, and helicopters, this innovative design pushes the boundaries of what is possible in the world of aviation.

The Flike Passenger Drone is a tricopter with an electric/hybrid powertrain, capable of carrying one person or an equivalent weight of payload. It can be piloted by the person on-board or controlled remotely, and it is even capable of unmanned, autonomous flight. With a maximum speed of 100 kph and a flight endurance of 60 minutes, the Flike offers an exhilarating and unique flying experience.

The design of the Flike is not only focused on performance but also on safety. The height and speed of the drone are electronically limited to ensure maximum safety for the pilot and others. The sleek and aerodynamic shape, influenced by the laws of aerodynamics and the design language of aviation and motorsports, not only enhances the performance but also adds to the overall aesthetics of the drone.

The Flike Passenger Drone is constructed with a light titanium frame and a special carbon composite enclosure, which provides both structural integrity and aerodynamic efficiency. As technology and materials continue to advance, the goal is to produce the entire vehicle with a self-supportive composite frame for extreme lightness.

Maform Design Studio, the creative force behind the Flike Passenger Drone, embarked on an extensive research process to ensure the success of this groundbreaking design. The team studied the bodies and interfaces of speed bikes, helicopters, and jet skis, as these vehicles are frequently used by the target audience of the Flike. User interaction research was also conducted to create a simple and safe interface for a pleasant flying experience.

The Flike Passenger Drone has received numerous accolades, including the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in 2017. This award recognizes the design's outstanding creativity, technical excellence, and contribution to improving the quality of life. With its unique combination of design, innovation, and technology, the Flike Passenger Drone is set to revolutionize personal aerial transportation.
