1. Very cool.

Thought for sure it was going to be the Pacer, or any AMC car at that time.

No place to put a 4X8 sheet of plywood. Totally useless!

There was once a German-built propeller train, based on a blimp. Fantastic speeds, smooth ride, safe for passengers. Not so safe for people on the platform. Became a character on Thomas, named Hugo. Many design features were incorporated into “the Hamburg Flyer,” whose name is more directly translated to the much funnier, “Flying Hamburger.”

One thing that caught my eye in this article...

"5-meter-wide airplane propeller"

Perhaps not... that would be 16 and a half feet!
