An autonomous flying ambulance designed for ICAO. Presented at ICAO Civil Aviation Day 2019 and wind-tunnel tested in collaboration with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
Ambular 2.0 is, in the words of its originator Charles Bombardier, "an autonomous flying ambulance designed to carry a patient and a paramedic to the hospital. The Ambular 2.0 would be assembled using engines, flight systems and other components that have been shown to work in other vehicles, including the second generation of the Ehang 184. The aircraft would be sold 'green' and then modified locally for medical transport."
The project was driven by Charles Bombardier (Imaginactive) and Yuri Fattah (ICAO) as project leads. My role was the industrial design and visualisation work — translating the concept brief into a buildable form, then producing the imagery and animation that supported its public presentation.
Presented at ICAO Civil Aviation Day 2019 in Montréal, with a physical mockup displayed alongside the digital renders. Wind-tunnel tested in collaboration with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology — small-scale aerodynamic verification of the lift configuration.
Modelled in Rhinoceros, rendered in KeyShot, animated in Unreal Engine. The body form deliberately echoes both medical-vehicle vocabulary (the red-and-white livery, the visible AMBULANCE typography) and aerospace lightweight construction (the visible structural frame, the exposed rotor arms).
The full image set, including additional renders, process notes, and detail views, lives on Behance.
