Meet Jestar.
Jestar is a three wheeler of the tilting kind, with two front and one rear, tilting, wheel (2F1T).
These pictures represent six days of my work in 11.-17. Feb. 2002, and this is the start of my diploma project at the end of my studies of mechanical engineering at the University of Novi Sad, Serbia ("Concept development of a motorized tilting three wheeler").
A skillful eye will notice many inconsistencies on these images. That is because they were supposed to be just good looking, and by the way show me if the desired components can be placed in corresponding assemblies. The engine is not a boxer, it is a 2.2 liter engine, and as a matter of fact it is not even of a piston - cylinder type.
By the time you read this, Jestar looks different. Jestar's offspring is more innovative, more intensive, more serious, much closer to reality and taken higher by an engineering degree. Powered by a 1.7 V4 turbocharged engine.
I believe that narrow tracked, low weight, closed, man-width, tilting three wheelers are vehicles of the future, but I am sure that the public is more likely to accept an impressive vehicle rather than a humble one.
Therefore, Jestar is imagined to be a 250 kg, 250 HP and 300 km/h vehicle.
"Jestar" is also applied for patent in a form different from the one here presented, so, this one you are free to copy : )
