The sense of perspective in these is mind-bending. Look at the lady passenger, and imagine her taking a couple of steps 'away' from the viewer, to approach the green walkway.
By then she has to be short enough to fit under the wing, and after walking over the gangway, she has to be small enough to get in the Alice-in-Wonderland door, under the wing with no headroom, into a box so small the coachman-pilot would barely squash into it.
The walkway is on top of a building high enough to have an elevator, but the handrail varies Escher style from shin-height to shoulder-height along it's ~two meter length. (And if it is shin height like the steps side suggests, then it's of no use, and if it's shoulder height like the door side suggests then she would fall between the railings, and the gap to the door is a circus acrobat's leap!).
Then the wings, which are about the height of the pilot, but also about thrice the height of the door - not to mention it's a winged vehicle which hovers.
"In the year 2000" the unshielded outside light bulb would be a health and safety violation, let alone all the other aerial acrobatic bits!
It reminds me a little of ukiyo-e, where even beautiful and finely detailed images would have basic errors of perspective.
(For example, in http://loc.gov/pictures/resource/cph.3g08423/ , the way the boat meets the water is baffling. As far as I can tell, this is an error, not a knowing artistic cheat.)
I assume that the drafting skill of even low-quality drawing went up quickly as photographs became ubiquitous, but I don’t have the art history background to support the notion.
