Time off to browse visionary designs in yesterday’s transportation engineering

The Library at the University of California, in Berkeley, has compiled an extensive collection of yesterday’s futuristic transportation designs.

All those who remember Popular Science’s depictions of commuters buzzing around in tiny aircrafts and landing on rooftops or even fanciful drawings of vehicles that run on roads, float on water and also take to the air will love the following commented image galleries:

• Automotive
• Commercial aviation
• Ground effect machines
• Helicopters
• Intelligent transportation systems
• Maritime
• Monorails

• Personal rapid transit
• Pneumatic transportation
• Supersonic transport

If you’re a fan of futuristic transportation means, this online exhibit will fuel your imagination and perhaps even inspire you into evolving nowadays transportation world.
