Our initial concept was based off of the core requirements of the Hyperloop system. An axial compressor was required at the front to supply the air bearings in addition to removing air from the front.

Passengers would enter and exit through large doors in the upper half of the pod.

Mk. I was a proof-of-concept test bed for our manufacturing processes as well as evaluating an EDF unit as a compressor. Initial tests confirmed that our arrangement would function.

We are a student group acting independently of the University of California. We take full responsibility for our organization and this web site.
