EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the unique and visionary Waterman Arrowbile, an experimental flying car prototype designed by American engineer Samuel J. Waterman in 1936. The Arrowbile, identified by its registration number NX262Y, was a remarkable fusion of automobile and airplane technology, showcasing Waterman's innovative design. The exterior of the Arrowbile presents a striking contrast between the streamlined automobile and the aerodynamic wings that enable it to take flight. The car's body, with its unusual shape and smooth lines, is reminiscent of the Art Deco era in which it was created. The wings, on the other hand, are sleek and elegant, designed to provide lift and stability in the air. The Arrowbile was an unusual design for its time, with few precedents in the field of flying cars. It was powered by a 75 horsepower engine, which could propel it on the ground at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour. In the air, it could reach altitudes of up to 10,000 feet and travel at speeds of up to 120 miles per hour. Despite its impressive capabilities, the Arrowbile remained a prototype and never entered commercial production. However, it paved the way for future experiments in flying cars and inspired a new generation of engineers and inventors to continue exploring the possibilities of combining automotive and aviation technologies. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating look at one of the most unusual and visionary designs in the history of transportation. The Waterman Arrowbile remains an enduring symbol of innovation, ingenuity, and the limitless potential of human imagination.
