"Every field of nature is wonderful - Aristotle", from the remarks of aristotle, the great philosopher and scientist and educator in the ancient history of the world, we deeply understand the infinite creativity of nature, and in the continuous practice of science and technology, we have also discovered that the body structure of many creatures in nature has a very exquisite scientific form. In this regard, people have received a lot of innovative inspiration from this gift of nature, taking multi-layer corrugated cardboard, which is not only lighter than wooden boxes and plastic boxes, but also has high mechanical strength, and this is the creative invention drawn by engineers according to the structural principle of scallop shells.
Speaking of this, there may be small partners who will ask, so what does this have to do with Mercedes-Benz? As an inventor of the automobile and a leader in the automotive field, Mercedes-Benz has never stopped learning from itself, constantly integrating interdisciplinary concepts and car-making technologies, and creating a series of amazing technological creations, among which this bionic project is also in it.
As early as 2005, Mercedes-Benz released a "bionic concept car", the prototype of the car is boxfish (Boxfish), boxfish (Boxfish) is a fish living in tropical waters, the fish's body although square and angular, but has excellent hydrodynamic properties, and engineers have a one-to-one imitation of its model, and also calculated its drag coefficient, after a series of experimental optimization, The result was a 4.24-meter-long compact model, and it also created a rare 0.19 ultra-low drag coefficient in the same class, which also caused quite a stir at the time.
Now, after having mature biomimetic research results, Mercedes-Benz has come out to do things again, yes Mercedes-Benz combined the structure and shape of the "Pandora" planet creature in the movie "Avatar" to create a Mercedes-Benz VISION AVTR concept car! The appearance of the car resembles an alien creature, especially its chameleon-like skin, which adds a mysterious sci-fi visual sense to it. In addition, the Mercedes-Benz VISION AVTR concept also has a crab line mobile mode.
It is also worth mentioning that this "bionic concept car" also uses sustainable or plant-based materials. Its door handles are made of Biosteel fibers, the raw material is biodegradable pure plant silk, and its leather part is made of mushroom hyphae. Although it is a scientific and technological material derived from plants, the luxurious style it presents has not disappointed us. In this regard, many netizens can't help but call out: really can play. So, the question is, if mercedes-benz's concept car achieves mass production, will you pay for it?
