In order to get prepared for war against the Galactic Empire, the Rebel Alliance is gathering a group of engineers to design a transporting system to transport R2D2 units to factories of manufacturing interceptor aircraft on the other side of the continent. This system is required to be energy efficient and can overcome different geographical situations.
The engineering team completed their individual designs.
Aisha’s design:
Aisha tends to make the vehicle simple and useful, therefore she didn’t add any additional shells or head. And she believes this design would reduce its weight and increase its speed as much as possible.
Chen’s Design:
Ling Chen focuses on the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle. His inspiration comes from the streamline shape of whales. He thinks this kind of shell could reduce its wind drag and would in turn increase its speed.
Zhen’s design:
Zhen believes the streamline head would increase the vehicle. And his design is small and light. His inspiration comes from civil airplanes, for instance, Boeing 747.
Zihan’s design:
Zihan’s design focuses on its aerodynamic performance as well. What different is that she believes the train head would better fit this vehicle.
And after team meeting, the group decided to take Zhen’s design as the initial concept design due to its potential aerodynamic performance and its size.
