  • More about Means of Transport That Did Not Change the World


Various means of transport that were invented but not used are presented in this book, including flying cars, trains riding on a single rail, and life-size remote control cars. These ideas and prototypes have helped us progress, even if they did not lead to a technological revolution.

Format: Hardback
Length: 64 pages
Publication date: 17 August 2023
Publisher: Albatros nakladatelstvi as



Realistic illustrations accompany the stories behind various more or less peculiar vehicles that were invented but in the end, they did not make the cut.

We all travel sometimes—by car, by public transport, or by plane. But there are some means of transport that we will never be able to use. Let's open this book and learn how come we don't travel in flying cars, why trains don't ride on a single rail, or why there are no life-size remote-control cars.

You're about to be flooded with infamous ideas, prototypes, and crazy attempts at coming up with something new over the course of the last century. The means of transport presented in this book may have not led to a technological revolution, but they did help us progress. After all, people learn from their mistakes.
