| For many years Fuller envisioned a
scientifically designed vehicle to complement his scientifically designed house. |
| It would be able to operate on land, on &
under water, and in the air. |
| It would be capable of vertical take-off and
landing (VTOL). |
| It would be relatively small & economical
so that the average person could afford to own one & park it in the back yard or on
the roof. |
| It would be able to cruise at about 10,000
feet & fly approximately 300 miles per hour with a range of about 400 miles before
refueling. |
| It would be able to carry four people &
cost no more than a medium priced car. |
| Such vehicles are now being developed! |
