Last night I was wondering if you could post an excerpt, on Fuller's Omnidirectional Transport. This morning I find:

I was reading tonight about Buckminster Fuller's 1930s “omni-medium, jet-propelled 4D transport” that he proposed. A car with inflatable collapsible wings that could travel by road, sea or air. Trouble is, to work, it required inventions that hadn't actually yet been made. And still haven't been.

This tells me you've seen the preprototype design work. Relevant to the 'Why don't cars have wings' thread.
The 'stilt-jet' has been made (Hawker Harrier), the inflatable wing has been made (Goodyear Inflatoplane). What's left?
Could you show your work for this one aspect? I don't have room for another book.
