Flightless Spinner
This vehicle from Blade Runner was designed by Syd Mead and constructed by Gene Winfield. In the film, Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is a former officer of the Blade Runner Unit of the LAPD, which is assigned with tracking down dangerous “replicants”—bioengineered androids created by the Tyrell Corporation—and “retiring” them. Deckard’s personal vehicle is Police Sedan Number 56, a “state of the art” spinner that has been decommissioned and stripped of its ability to fly. Instead, it has guard wheels and impact bumpers that were added for ground traffic.
