    Are GEVs a good idea?

    Would giant ground effect vehicles such as the aerocon Wingship and the Boeing pelican actually be useful in today’s economy or a waste of money?

    Could Syd Mead's cars ever happen?

    The late designer and artist, Syd Mead, once reportedly said "I have been trying to ger rid of wheels since 1963". His beautiful floating cars (no ugly rotor fans or troublesome downblast) are as impossible nearly 60 years later, or are they? Probably yes, but if any of you know more?

    Land-based hovercraft

    The "hovertank" is a staple of science fiction novels and board games, yet in the real world fans and skirts never seem to have supplanted wheels or tracks. Does anyone have any projects or prototypes to share on proposed land-based hovercraft? Cheers, Matthew
