I remember reading in Popular Mechanics around 1965 that I would be flying to work by 1999. Well this new ground effects train may get me a little closer.

Overview | A ground-effect vehicle takes advantage of this fast-moving air and uses some stubby little wings to fly just above the ground, like a maglev without the mag. This is a tricky thing to do, since you have to control the vehicle more like an airplane than a train. The plan is that the same technology can scale and power a large commuter rail system called the Aero Train. If this is the future of commuting, we'll be literally flying to work some day. Oh Oh, 1965 again. |
