Hi, my name is Uday Kumar. I’m a 19-year-old college student, studying Math in Delhi University, India. I conceived this concept of ‘AirBoard’ while I was stuck in traffic for two hours. It started off as a question, why not utilize the infinite space we have above us fully? And so I started researching and designing till I finally came up with AirBoard. A device which is simple in design, yet powerful enough to lift you off the ground! Yes, you read it right, lift you off the ground! The working mechanism is simple, when at rest you can use it as a simple skateboard, but when you initiate the ‘flight mode’ the panels (under the board) containing the motors and rotors, drop below and expand horizontally. The motors used are lightweight and powerful enough to lift you off the ground and keep you air bound for approximately 15-20 minutes.
The photographs are of design of the AirBoard. I humbly request you to help me bring this concept to reality. The funds which you would donate will be used to procure the required machinery to build a working model of this AirBoard.
