Hello All! I have come across the plans for a "Surface Speeder" X-34 landspeeder that I got from an add in I think Popular Science or Popular Mechanics back in the 70s. My Grandfather and I built it and made some modifications to it, and it actually worked fairly well. Even though I was heavier than it was supposed to be able to lift it still worked ok on a flat surface. I have included a PDF of the cover of the plans packet, they are larger than the scanner I have, so if anyone has any ideas on where to take them to get them scanned I will be happy to post the scans to the RPF. The main modification we made was to have the whole unit that consisted of the engine mount blower fan, directional veins around the blower fan and the housing around that made by the fabricator where my Grandfather worked! We were a little hesitant to make all of that out of plywood. Pluss they balanced the blower fan (36 inches in diameter) really well so no vibration from it spinning.
