Kristi KT-4JC prototype
This unique prototype utilized a KT-4 bottom shell with a widened and extended track system. It was delivered to the U.S. Army’s Air Terminal Operations Center in Detroit Michigan, June 1962. The prototype was Corvair powered and is serial number #00104. The U.S. Army built the buoyant blobs and appears to have removed the hydraulic suspension for their tests. Official Army documents name this prototype, the Kristi "Water Walker."
