Since its inception in 1984, the Zhong Dong primary school continues to operate efficiently with 8 teachers and 186 students. In the word of the school’s headmaster “The students are very eager for knowledge, and the student who lives the farthest has to walk six hours each day.” He further explicates that Zhong Dong resembles any other normal school in most respects – enclosing classrooms and a playground, expect that the buildings have no roof, which is not necessary.

Volitan’s dynamic stability is an inspiration from its wing design and extends all-weather survival. The boat’s wings counterbalance tracking of the sun and wind for optimal power. To rescue in extreme weather conditions, the wings folds against the boat. However, there is no fear since Volitan is engineered to operate in up to 60 knot winds.

Volitan has the motors set on either side in such a way that it maximizes its navigation performance.
