I wonder how much it would cost to make the hull of that vehicle.
ReplyDeleteFrame type?
Looks like the nose and windshield of an airplane went into making the front end of this machine with the front hood and bottom being an extension of the two sides of the face of the airplane. 737?
Sooo cool though,i was very young when I saw this on TV.

Just a wonderful machine. :-)
