About Gondola د بریښنایي هایډروفویل بېړۍ

ګوندولا یو بریښنایي هایډروفویل بېړۍ ده چې د اوبو سیاحت لپاره ډیزاین شوې ده. دا ډیزاین د دودیزې وینیسي ګوندولا بڼه د عصري هایډروفویل له متحرک ځانګړتیاوو سره یوځای کوي. د بدنې اوږدوالی 13450 ملي متره او پلنوالی 2820 ملي متره دی او څلور مسافر پکې ځای پرځای کیدلی شي. المونیم چې د پلاتینم رنګه فلزي پوښ لري، د بدنې جوړونه تشکیلوي، پداسې حال کې چې هایډروفویلونه او ملاتړي جوړښتونه د کاربن فایبر او نورو مرکبو موادو څخه جوړ شوي دي. چتر د پارچې او فلزي تارونو له ترکیب څخه جوړ شوی، او د سامان ډک د ټیک وسپر څخه جوړ دی. بریښنایي انجن د لوړې سرعت یا ورو سفر پرمهال چوپ حرکت ممکنوي.

Production Technology
The boat's hull is made of aluminum with a platinum-colored metallic paint finish that echoes the glossy metal used throughout, providing a good sense of texture. The hydrofoils and hull support structures have versatile attributes and are made of stronger carbon fiber and other composite materials that add to the boat's sporty feel. The canvas soft top of the canopy is made of a high-grade fabric mixed with metallic filaments. Meanwhile, the luggage compartment deck is made of high-grade teak, adding to the boat's luxurious feel.
Design Challenge
I strolled along the riverbanks of Venice and saw gondolas and luxury yachts, which sparked my passion and inspiration for design. How to perfectly incorporate the gondola design elements into the hydrofoil design posed a challenge to me. It required a lot of sketches and modeling to ensure the traditional aesthetics of elegance and luxury, but also the futuristic aesthetics of modern technology. There were also challenges of cultural differences from different countries, and I needed to study the relevant materials in greater depth.
Research
Taking inspiration from Venice's elegant and luxurious gondolas, combining traditional culture with modern aesthetics, a new hydrofoil has been designed to create a new water tourism experience based on Venetian culture for Venice as well as other waterfront regions. The research project has not only resulted in the design of a hydrofoil, but has also explored a new research path for tourism experiences in other culturally diverse regions.
Inspiration
The design draws inspiration from the traditional Venetian boat, the gondola. In terms of structural design, the classical Italian design culture plays an important role. The curved moon-like lines of the gondola, especially the detailing on the six-toothed battle-axe halberd at the bow, were a major source of inspiration. This cultural influence is evident throughout the project.
Project Duration
The project launched in Qingdao, China in August 2023, and the preliminary model of the project was presented at Milan Design Week in April 2024, and reached its final stages by June 2024.
Operation Flow
The boat is equipped with hydrofoils that can be rotated and propellers that can be raised and lowered, as well as an electric motor for high maneuverability. At the same time, the boat is capable of switching between high-speed movement and leisurely cruising, ensuring that it meets the needs of users in different situations and enhances the traveling experience.
