In the anime[1] called "The Vision Of Escaflowne", which deals with a
fantasy world, air travel is (mostly) done using "floating stones" of
various sizes (mostly house-sized, I recall), the stones being incorporated
into flying machines which then move around using propellers driven by
machinery of unknown nature. I can't remember whether any were wind-powered
(i.e. sails), but I _do_ remember that the largest floating stone found was
the size of a mountain, and the 'bad guys' incorporated an entire fortress
into it - VERY cool idea. Reminds me of a painting by Matisse... or was it
Magritte?
So anyone with a few hundred BURPs wanna take this project on?
;-)
