Strata-Flyer | "A flying machine made out of a boat with oars and big helium balloons," as Mr. Whittaker described it in the episode I Slap Floor, which is questionable, because, as the episode points out, Bernard Walton made up the whole storyline for April Fools Day.

It has 22 different levels of power, and it "automatically changes blade shape and movement, to accommodate different mixtures" (as whit put it).

(more) | John Whittaker | March 4, 2006 | #588: “Broken-Armed and Dangerous” |

The Edu-Link produces a holographic image of whomever it needs to have. In this case, a teacher.
