The conceptual [Volvo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-volvo-space) Air 360 has been designed by Nacho Alfonso García for the 2020 Volvo Design Challenge as a transportation solution that looks to the skies for the future of transportation. The vehicle maintains a sleek design that incorporates a [see-through cabin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-vehicle) that can rotate in a 360-degree manner to provide uninterrupted views of the surrounding environment. This would provide passengers inside the drone with the feeling of flying to help them enjoy a thrilling experience every time they board.

The conceptual Volvo Air 360 maintains a [fully autonomous design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-cybercab) that is electric for an emissions-free functionality. The drone vehicle highlights shifting rotors that would rotate for seamless takeoff and landing, while also greatly accelerating the speed at which passengers can travel.
