| Description: | Aviation pioneer, Major Alexander P. de Seversky, reveals his new "Ionocraft" a flying platform that will perform many functions sixty miles above the earth. It draws it's energy from the sun or the earth. In this clip it looks like a big Tinker-Toy "If you remember Tinker-Toy's". The Major say's one platform above New York and one platform above Los Angeles, California would permit direct TV communication. New York, NY MS - Major Alexander P. de Seversky revealed a new kind of flying platform. It performs many functions high above the earth. Making no sound this strange and stick looking contraption rises straight up. It makes a few graceful turns, stops and sits there very silently. | |
