helicab n.

The ‘helicab’, a streamlined helicopter for family service…will have all the advantages of Igor Sikorsky’s helicopter for vertical ascent, the capacity to hover, and landing in a very small space.

I'm a hack, and I'm looking for a new helicab—something in fair condition. What have you got?

The helicab was parked in front of the house.

It was ten minutes past high noon when I paid off my helicab, ducked under the air blast from the caged high-speed rotors…and looked around at the sun-scalded, dust-white, mob-noisy bazaar of the trucial camp-city of Tamboula, Republic of Free Algeria.
