RBF DEFINITIONS
Air Delivered City:

"The building industry is the last holdover of the archaic
craft system. We are going to have to revise our building
technology. The Lockheed Corporation already has drawings
for an aircraft holding ten thousand passengers. There is
no reason why you couldn't build a New York skyscraper along
similar lines. It could be built horizontally under mass
production conditions and flown in horizontally to minimize
drag, then upended. In this fashion we would be able to
deliver a whole city in one day by air."
