1 CITIES FOR PEOPLE * Aeromovel Technology allows the implementation of new paradigms in the Public Transportation System and in the form of organization of cities. * Title of the book by Jan Gehl, Danish urbanist.

2 THE STORY OF OSKAR COESTER From the transition from propellers to jet engines in civil aviation to the use of Aeromovel as a mode of transportation.

3 AVIATION BACKGROUND VARIG PP-VJA / Boeing #1 Nonstop RIO/NYC: June 1960
