====Vehicles==== Spacecraft of various designs were presented as the product of inhabitants of various planets. The vehicle most identified with Dan was the winged ''Anastasia''. Designed by Sondar, it employed both Venusian and Earth space drives. Later, an alien ship was adopted and renamed the ''Zyl-bat''. There was also an experimental time-travelling ship called ''Tempus Frangit'' ([[Latin]]: ''it breaks time'' or ''time breaks''). There were land and air vehicles β in the first stories, cars conform to styling of the time, while some flying machines were based on the design of [[helicopter]]s of the mid-twentieth century. Also of note was Lex O'Malley's ship, the ''Poseidon'', a versatile craft that could operate as a [[jetfoil]] as well as a submarine. [[London Transport Executive|London Transport]] used overhead [[monorail]]s and helibuses in early stories. Ground transport cars were also drawn with [[gyroscopes]] and single wheels. Venusian vehicles were depicted as being technologically more advanced than those of Earth. South of the Flamebelt the Therons had applied their technology to peaceful agricultural purposes including dedicated agricultural land and flying machines. North of the Flamebelt the Treens perfected low friction/low energy consumption means of transport including vacuum tube transport (Electrosenders) for long distance travel.
