It was the reference to the jet stilts that caused me to select this image with the rear 'jet stilt ; but i still can't tell if its real...but imho that wouldn't really affect the puzzle solving'

Because he was aiming for what Fuller called Omni Medium Transport, a vehicle that could go anywhere, the Dymaxion would ultimately have "wheels for ground travel and jet stilts for instant takeoff and flight." Jet stilts were Fuller's placeholder idea for a future technology that could provide compact, concentrated lift – twenty years before the commercial availability of jets. o his daughter, Allegra, he described the Dymaxion as:A "zoomobile", explaining that it could hop off the road at will, fly about, then, as deftly as a bird, settle back into a place in traffic
