Halo! Says the Future

A new project by British designer Phil Poly (Phil Pauley) - Halo Intersceptor may be the solution to all of the most pressing issues related to transport. Halo Intersceptor - is a multipurpose vehicle, which, thanks to "dock" with the additional modules can be easily converted from a car superior in its characteristics Bugatti Veyron in the plane (Halo 120 °), helicopter (Halo 46 °), or cruising yacht (Halo 22 °). Unique features cutting-edge vehicle that can bring its owner anywhere in the world to appreciate first of all, travelers and businessmen. Intersceptor car equipped with all-wheel drivetrain and having overall dimensions (length - 4,35 m, height - 1,2 m width - 2,1 m) will be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.3 seconds, top speed will be 501 km / h and the range - 1127 km. To overcome the large distances we can use plane Halo 120 °. Its length was 9,5 m, height - 5,22 m 'wingspan - 14,5 m, wing area - 117.45 square meters. m. The maximum takeoff weight is 45.4 tons. Two turbine Pratt & Whitney TF30-P-100, each of which develops a craving Kilonewton 79.6, and 112 kN with afterburner must raise a miracle in the air. Max climbs the aircraft Halo 120 should be about 20,000 feet, range 6,800 km. For flights over shorter distances, such as the regional center to a business meeting customers can take advantage of a helicopter, converting aircraft Halo 120 ° helicopter Halo 46 °, which is capable of accommodating two pilots and two passengers. The length of the helicopter will be 10.1 m, height - 2,7 m rotor diameter - 5,5 m. The maximum takeoff weight was 4,3 tons. Maximum speed - 185 knots (343 km / h) "Cruising altitude" should be here 4,600 meters. Fans will be able to travel on water use high-speed boat Halo 22 ° length of 11.15 m and speeds of up to 63 knots (117 km / h). So, Phil Poli, in any case, as the author of Project Halo Intersceptor will undoubtedly inspire and other automakers to build similar projects. In connection with the difficult situation (huge congestion) is a good chance, though a madman, but still a promising area that could well become a reality. In addition, Poly sure that the design of future sports car will follow in the footsteps of his model is Intersceptor. Text: Alex Guy
