Framed Print of Flying Saucer Airbus

(Original Caption) 10/28/1950-Chicago, IL- One solution to the growing traffic congestion problem in the U.S. has been suggested by designer George F. Miller of Chicago, who thinks a flying saucer bus is the answer. This artist's conception of Miller's saucer-shaped, 100-passenger airbus is from Science and Mechanics Magazine. The vehicle, 65 feet in diameter and 10 1/2 feet high, would weigh from 80, 000 to 110, 000 pounds. It would fly with three counter-rotating pairs of 14-foot diameter props or rotors. Each rotor pair would be driven by a pancake-type 2, 400 horsepower engine. Speed of this aerial commuter transport would be 90 to 175 miles an hour. Illustration. Unleash your creativity with premium art prints that turn any room into a visual masterpiece.
