	Spanish Aerocar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spanish Aerocar is a cable car on the Canadian side of the Niagara River.
		The Aerocar is suspended between two Canadian points, although between the two points it crosses the Canadian and American borders four times on a full trip.
		The rapids entering the whirlpool below the aerocar are visible moving at an estimated 35 to 37 km/h and the flow of the water coming through the river is about 2,800 m³/s (623,000 imp gal/s) in the summer months and 300,000 imperial gallons per second (1,400 m³/s) in the winter months.

	Leonardo Torres y Quevedo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Torres was born on 28 December 1852, on the Feast of the Holy Innocents, in Santa Cruz de Iguña, Molledo (Cantabria), Spain.
		In 1920, he entered the Royal Spanish Academy, in the seat that had been occupied by Pérez Galdós, and became a member of the department of Mechanics of the Paris Academy of Science.
		But it is doubtless the Spanish Aerocar in the Niagara Falls in Canada which has gained the greatest fame in this area of activity, although from a scientific point of view it was not the most important.

	Niagara Falls Trip - Day Three
		Our first walk of the morning was up to the Spanish Aerocar, which is located about 2 1/2 miles or so downstream (North) of the Falls, and about a mile North of the BandB.
		It was a very scenic ride, and the Aerocar was a nice way to travel.
		Of course, we simply went from one side of the eddy to the other and back, so "travelling" may not be the best term...
