Aerial Drift is a mobility device designed for Parastronauts with a height of less than 130cm. These individuals may face unique challenges in microgravity settings, such as getting stuck in weightless conditions.


This device allows users to navigate freely without needing a solid surface, making it an ideal solution for emergencies or as a practical means of transportation within expansive space stations. Aerial Drift features a handle with on/off buttons and a hollow central section for air discharge.
The handles contain a battery, motor, and fan that generate a directed airflow, propelling the user in their desired direction. This results in a comfortable and efficient mode of transportation for parastronauts in microgravity environments.

Aerial Drift is compact, lightweight, and optimized for parastronauts with less than 130cm in height.

Aerial Drift won the Raymond Zreick award and was showcased during Milan design week 2022
