Description

Fascinating document entitled "Proposal to Lear Jet Corporation for a Sale/License Program of the VRC Compact Aircraft for the Short Haul Intercity Business Aircraft Field," 9 x 11.5, 45 pages, circa late 1960s. The document presents a market analysis for the transportation of people in the "intercity short haul market," defined as between 50 to 500 miles, and proposes a "Ground Mobile Aircraft"—effectively a flying car—as a solution. The proposal is highlighted by two color photographs of concept art for the futuristic vehicle, as well as schematic diagrams of its exterior. It goes on to discuss the operation and specifications of the proposed aircraft, and presents a business analysis of costs and sales projections. In fine condition.
