The StarShip / AirFlow Truck Company

[Applause] [Music] AMC automated manual transmission Cummings for horsepower x-15 v1 a lot of people see this truck and think it's electric no it's good old-fashioned these are power at the kettle coach system here the front kind of tells me a visual how much fuel I'm feeding into the system with digital gauge package that design had a vendor go for us carbon fibre - the whole truck is carbon fiber 100% on the cap beer cab itself when they call the body in way only less than 500 pounds our fiber is very light of course very strong but it doesn't withstand impact shatters Monica so for another 366 pound got the full roll cage inside his car but that roll cages wanted to be quarter-inch diamond tubing it's known as vom drawn over the mandrel so seamless tubing very strong very light it's only three hundred sixty six additional pounds we have a full roll cage in this truck bottom part of the Mirai is obviously our white handle like your spotter mayor would be you also have a fifth monitor here associated with the beer riot that shows me the blind spot over that way so to really dial it right there this truck is geared to do 100 14.5 miles an hour but obviously we won't go that fast it's also here to do 850 rpm in 18th year going coast-to-coast if we want to do [Music] truck stop what are they curious about we want to know what kind of truck it is it's obviously never seen anything like it because you don't like this in the world I feel fun putting fuel in it and then it asked me if it's an electric truck I said sir I bet the jewel pump at Miami they want to know it's electric it kind of you know I think it's a that's the truck or one of the newer conversions the truck that are coming out anything I tell people is not square yeah it's the most aerodynamic truck in the world in my opinion it's got a coefficient of drag of 0.25 we tested it in the software Wintel which is called CFD computational fluid dynamics so you know just how slippery the truck cuts cuts through the wing right it just extremely aerodynamic so when you have an aerodynamic truck most of the internet correct we'd have the engine the exam X and that's power and when you make less power you use less fuel this product is a hybrid truck because it's not really a conventional with the engine and it's not really a cab over where the driver asked them sit between but the cab itself is a hybrid I called glass over engine sometimes because where the glass goes it's not your your typical order item you came about it kind of looks like if anybody watched your video this later was uh the Swedish supercar called Kona say it's kind of similar to that the only other would you like to think of it's really kind of a similar and it's just kind of an airplane shape very clear in a ramekin you can see that and now we've got the windows black man in the back but I can just look over my shoulder like this and see exactly what's going on back there my whole theory of my own thesis is that whenever you divert diverting air that expands energy and if you the air go up above I try to split the year in the middle 36 inches up close to 20 meters off we split the year sideways like that and we're only due on 43 inches there are no concave radii in his truck if you notice the air gets hot and excited goes around the truck speaking about the designer just question is it a one-off design or fortunately I have spare the major across that windshield is the tool basically the mold to make a windshield like that the second one 2:30 because of the two the dairy asleep rate at all well we did coast-to-coast ramen we left San Diego California a few weeks back with a thirty nine thousand nine hundred pounds of clean green material and we delivered that to Jack she'll and I are complete synchronicity with how we feel about trucking this is the super truck but we call real Franklin we just went coast-to-coast and we grossed over 73,000 pounds so some OEMs have built trucks similar to this and never even go on the road with them they're a trailer of the show's right shell myself wanted to show that this is a real world we ran into traffic we ran into I pulled in a florida state trooper pulled us already medicinal intrigued with the truck so we heavy downpours and I had 75 mile an hour winds on out the California west of Salt Lake City with this truck so we won improving this truck is a real-world truck and that what I call the trailer Queen the tree the queen is a derogatory automotive term that some people use to talk about a real not show vehicle and it's already trailer too we drive this truck with training it whatever [Music] 1983 they're dynamic trucks an old planet I actually retired the truck in 1986 I did operations management management the big companies like writer or other truck transportation companies and then in 2012 I buy the second truck called the bullet truck people call it the bullet truck affiliate instead it resembled a bullet train we only grow that 2012 she'll saw that truck on my website they commissioned me to build this property you signed a contract started talking to shell in 2013 about 15 so there's about three years and 18 thousand man-hours myself and my crew back in back at the shop [Music] [Applause] [Music]
