# Sculptural Urban Transportation Aircrafts The SIH eVTOL Concept was Designed by Fenton Robathan By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-08-20 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sih-evtol References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/futuristic-sih-evtol-concept-by-fenton-robathan/) & [instagram](http://www.instagram.com/khazimodo/) The SIH eVTOL concept has been designed by Fenton Robathan as a glimpse into the future of transportation that sees automotive styling merged with the aircraft research of [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-amble-one). The aircraft features a sculptural aesthetic that will change in shape according to the operation, which will help with takeoffs, quick transportation between locations and much more. The unit boasts a total of eight electric motors that provide power to four sets of contra-rotating propellers to seamlessly lift the vehicle into flight and allow for smooth transitions during operation. The SIH eVTOL concept is outfitted with a [hybrid power source](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-horizon-aircraft) that consists of hydrogen fuel cells and a small battery that work in tandem to provide extended flight time thanks to their lightweight design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sculptural Urban Transportation Aircrafts:** Opportunity for design-centric companies to create innovative and visually appealing urban transportation aircrafts. - **Automotive-aircraft Hybrid Design:** Potential for convergence of automotive and aircraft industries to create efficient and versatile transportation solutions. - **Hybrid Power Sources in Aviation:** Disruptive opportunity for companies to develop lightweight and eco-friendly propulsion systems for extended flight time. ### Where This Applies - **Aerospace:** Aerospace industry can explore the creation of futuristic and adaptable urban transportation aircrafts. - **Automotive:** Automotive industry can consider adopting aircraft-inspired design elements to enhance efficiency and aesthetics of vehicles. - **Renewable Energy:** Renewable energy sector can develop advanced hybrid power sources suitable for aviation applications, such as hydrogen fuel cells combined with lightweight batteries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Revolutionary eVTOL Air Taxis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evtol-air-taxi.md) - [Spacious Five-Seater eVTOLs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantuo-pantala-concept-h.md) - [Ultra-Fast Urban eVTOL Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantala-concept-h-evtol.md) - [Emissions-Free eVTOL Aircraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emissionsfree-evtol-aircraft.md) - [Blade-Like eVTOLs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mostavio-mx1.md) - [Epochal Electric VTOLs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epochal-electric-vtol.md) - [Modular Electric VTOL Aircraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-vtol.md) - [Public Flying Air-Taxis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evtol.md) - [Updated Air Taxi Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sa2.md)
