Paris aero car idea sparks transit revolt in crowded cities
A Paris invention by 84 year old Monsieur Laur proposes an aero car suspended beneath a high overhead cable. Each car carries 100 passengers at up to 50 miles per hour, with a nine foot diameter electric propeller. The plan envisions a Chicago or New York aerial line with minimal ground disruption and low costs, potentially transforming urban travel and prompting major firms to pursue the concept. The piece also touches on Egypt’s unrest with Britain and Mussolini’s fascist stance, plus a segue into a London scandal gossip note.
