ZEPHYR EXPERIENCE SHOWROOM
AALTO HAPS, FARNBOROUGH
Taking guests on a journey to understand how truly disruptive and game changing the Zephyr is.
Zephyr S, the world’s leading HAPS (High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite), is pioneering the future for stratospheric flight. That means revolutionising disaster management, providing surveillance, monitoring the environment and providing communications to the most unconnected parts of the world.
Zephyr is being manufactured by Airbus in Farnborough. For the opening of the 2018 Farnborough Air Show, Airbus wanted to create a Zephyr customer showcase to support international sales, business development and public affairs initiatives. We partnered with Embolden to deliver an experience which would engage Airbus’ customers and drive tangible business outcomes.
The materials palette was inspired by the view from the stratosphere.
The Zephyr Experience took Airbus’ guests on a journey to understand how truly disruptive and game changing Zephyr is. From creating a sense of intrigue and a stairway up to the stratosphere to an immersion pod with floor projections with a ‘view from the Zephyr’. The tech showcase wall exhibited parts of the Zephyr so people could see what it was made of.
As part of Farnborough Airshow, Airbus also wanted to showcase a range of payloads offered by SME’s that further improve the range and value of services available. Zephyr provides continuous surveillance, communications and monitoring services across areas of tens of thousands of square kilometres. We were tasked to design a consistent kit of parts to offer each partner to exhibit their payloads as part of the Zephyr Marketplace which was on display inside the Zephyr manufacturing facility.
We also designed a series of posters showing case studies for Airbus’s presence at the Avalon Airshow 2019, Australia
