Dymaxion — a three-wheeled car from 1933 that was supposed to take off. Unusual cars.

Six meters long, three wheels, and a rear steering wheel capable of turning 90 degrees — in 1933, this car seemed like an alien from another dimension. Its creator, the brilliant futurist Buckminster Fuller, envisioned the Dymaxion as a hybrid of a car and an airplane that could one day take off directly from the road. In this episode, we will tell how an aerodynamic aluminum droplet nearly revolutionized the automotive world, why a tragic accident at the Chicago World's Fair ended the project, and where you can see the only surviving original today. We will also learn how the shape of the Dymaxion influenced the design of the iconic Volkswagen Transporter and modern electric vehicles. #Dymaxion #BuckminsterFuller #retrocar #concept #carhistory #three-wheeledcar #aerodynamics #GreatDepression #unusualcars #carmuseum #Reno #VolkswagenTransporter #technology76-mnp
