Zeaim Zero Emission Flight

Zeaim

Zeaim is a zero-emission aircraft designed for urban air mobility. Zeaim carries up to four people and needs no pilot, so special training is not required. Vertical take-off and landing, as well as short-distance take-off and landing, are supported. Two propulsion options are offered: four hydrogen-powered engines or four electric motors. Landing skids or three-cycle landing gear can be fitted. The fuselage and engine ducts are made of modern composites, and many parts are produced by 3D printing. The form is inspired by water bugs.

Zeaim Zero Emission Flight by Majid Niknami has been highlighted as a creative representation of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Zeaim Zero Emission Flight received the Silver A' Design Award in Aerospace and Aircraft Design in 2021. The A' Aerospace and Aircraft Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design competition that rewards exceptional design of jets, helicopters, gliders, drones, seaplanes, airships, ultralights, biplanes and more.
