Morpheus is a concept for a wing-in-ground effect superyacht tender. Wing in ground effect craft fly in close proximity to the water surface resulting in a significant increase in the lift to drag ratio, drag is reduced by approximately 60%. This makes the craft highly efficient, fast, and comfortable to ride in as it is detached from the water surface.
Morpheus will have a top speed of 80knots (148km/h) and so will attract a market of thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. However, with an operating range of 150 nautical miles Morpheus is also intended to access remote or distant reefs, islands, and beaches and to be used as a base for swimming and snorkelling or relaxing in the rear deck. The styling of Morpheus has taken inspiration from both modern and classic super cars.

The Rival is a revolutionary new motorbike where both wheels turn, which is completely new to motorbike design. Both wheels turning reduces the turning circle of the bike and greatly reduces oversteer and increases agility. The bike has a completely different feel to other bikes and gives the rider much more confidence riding through curves.
It is powered by a 400cc four stoke engine that runs through a chain and a universal joint to power the rear wheel. It turns using centre hub steering, this system not only allows both wheels to turn but also directs the breaking force through the front of the bike which means the front end does not drop down when breaking.
