"He started the engines and threw the helicopter screws into gear. the machine shot vertically into the air. Henry accelerated; the humming of the propeller shrilled from hornet to wasp, from wasp to mosquito; the speedometer showed that they were rising at the best part of two kilometres a minute." (Huxley 61)
In this chapter, we see technology that enhances the area of transportation. Rather than have all cars run on the ground floor, cars can now fly at various altitudes. With this technology, traffic can be managed in a whole new dimension. Instead of having to wait for a passing lane to move ahead of a slow vehicle, passing could be allowed under or over he slow vehicle. People would be able to get places faster, and save time, money, and the environment.
