Irgendwer hielt es in den 60er Jahren offenbar für eine gute Idee, Rotoren an Boote zu schrauben und diese dann von anderen Booten angezogen in die Luft zu bringen. Hat sich nicht durchgesetzt.
L/S of Dougal Campbell, Scottish water-skiing champion in action. L/S of speedboats pulling the ‚Giroboats‘ which are dinghies with helicopter blades attached so that when they are going fast enough they take off. M/S of the giroboats in the water, one of them has ‚Evinrude‘ written on the side. M/S of another giroboat with ‚Cameron & Campbell‘ written on the side, it takes off and starts to fly while still attached to the boat. The giroboat must reach a speed of 20 miles per hour to get out of the water.
