Bumped into this on the web:

An Aerosani (Aerosani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)


which linked to The Propellor-Driven Sleigh. like this NKL-26 Russian military aerosled:


1932 Helicron (The Helica.):


Those last 2 and wagonloads more eye candy can be found in the Museum of Retro Technology

for example the Cyclogyro (http://www.aqpl43.dsl.pipex.com/MUSE.../cyclogyro.htm):


PS. saw Old Mechanic found that site first: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...gns-30553.html
