Aerial Monoflier – The Future of Rapid Transit

“The Aerial Monoflier of Tomorrow—Equipt with Wings, Like an Airplane, It Will Skim Along Thru the Air. Guided by the Monorail. The Cars Are Propelled by Motor-Driven Propellers. Which Derive Their Power from Third Rails, as the Car Glides Along at Speeds of 200 to 300 Miles Per Hour. When in Motion the Entire Weight Is Practically Carried by the Wings, the Same as in an Airplane.” [from The Electrical experimenter (May 1919)]

Aerial Monoflier – The Future of Rapid Transit circa 1919. Invention by the French engineer (of Paris) Francis Laur.
