In the 1930s, Alexander Weygers invented a flying machine that he
called the discopter; a sort of flying saucer for the mass market.
This depiction of Manhattan shows that Mr. Weygers might
have been a little optimistic about the marketing success of his
invention. The special cradles for the seaplane version makes
sense, but as we go inland, we realise that the
shoreline, the carparks,
the tops of the buildings, in fact, every bit of free space available
is given over to discopter parking. You can't say that he wasn't
thinking big. |
