AMD design award - her first flight to Rio

Done for AMD 2023 design award: https://amdaward.com/
Super happy to have received the first place in transport category, with an impressive prize!

With "Her first flight to Rio" I wanted to picture how energy efficiency in our transport grid could be achieved by sacrificing speed, in favor of experience.
A Future where flying would actually feel like flying, where the destructive brute force of fossil fuel would be replaced by smarter forces like air pressure, wind, and light.

Entry description:

The energy efficiency of Gen-3 Airships relies on four key pillars:
I - Meteorological prediction AI models ensure the continuous optimization of flight patterns, utilizing wind currents to enhance speed.
II - Vertical lift is achieved through a synergistic combination of buoyancy generated by helium-filled chambers within its carbon fiber body and aerodynamic lift produced by the engines propelling the vessel forward, reminiscent of the lift generated by an airplane wing.
III - Hybrid fuel cell engine, powered by ammonia, that releases only H2O, and produced on land through safe and efficient Gen IV micro nuclear reactors. Additionally, any available sunlight during flight is converted to power the engines, contributing to fuel savings.
IV - Deep systemic connection with existing mag-lev train lines, ensuring both networks synergize together in synch to fluidify traffic.
