Abstract

The future electric vehicle design will be substantially different from the fossil fuel based. Multiple motors will be used to replace the single engine as in the conventional vehicle. Even though for the hybrid electric version or the pure electric version the fossil fuel generator is used to charge the battery and in turn the battery powers the motors. Other assistive units for steering will also be used. That will facilitate the 2-D maneuvering and parking for vessel and 3-D primary flight control and taxi for aircraft. This design paper is to examine a number of body designs to meet the new electrified air vehicles. This design paper is to examine a number of body designs to meet the new electrified water and air vehicles.
