Futuristic designs have taken over almost every facet of our life. Perhaps the field that has been most influenced by futurism is the automobile field. St. Petersburg State Academy of Art and Industry reveals several of their project designs for diplomas of Transport Design at the Department of Design. The designs seem to forecast the successful future careers of the students at the academy under the fruitful guidance of talented and inspiring teachers.

Designs developed by Katerina Aleshina and Vitaliy Kamishev for the concept of an urban vehicle which could have an advantage over other vehicles appear to be an innovative bus that can travel over public roads as well as trestles.

Aleksey Bondarev’s design of the Cargo Cycle intended for large sites, such as warehouses, within 3kms is a chic melange of an exercise bike and a loader that can handle over 50kgs of weight. Since it is pedal-driven, it requires no fuel and would thus be eco-friendly and healthy for the user, too.

Olga Sall has designed the SKAT, a tourist submarine which appears to seat eight people and has translucent covering so that the beautiful underwater scene maybe viewed, perhaps on the way to an underwater resort.

Ivan Striganov’s design of the Patrol ion-plane appears quite similar to the submarine SKAT, but is apparently intended for security. The space shuttle looks quite a bit like a drawing from an H.G Well’s story.
