      <title>THE TRACKED AIR CUSHION RESEARCH VEHICLE (TACRV)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/7165</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Department of Transportation's (DOT) Tracked Air Cushion Research Vehicle (TACRV) System is described using descriptive material and data provided by the design contractors and the Federal Railroad Administration, Office of Research, Development, and Demonstrations.  The TACRV is an experimental vehicle that will carry out research pertinent to evaluating the technical feasibility of the tracked air cushion vehicle (TACV) concept for commercial high-speed ground transportation.  The report includes background information, detailed design descriptions, and vehicle performance estimates.  (Author)]]></description>

      <title>TRACKED AIR CUSHION RESEARCH VEHICLE AERODYNAMIC ANALYSIS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/7416</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Basic aerodynamic coefficients for the Tracked Air Cushion Research Vehicle (TACRV) are developed by analysis of data obtained during wind tunnel tests of a 1/10 scale model. Vehicle lift and drag are found to be primarily a function of the dynamic pressure to average cushion pressure ratio. Vehicle lift is 8370 lb at 300 mph (11,900 lb in a 60 mph crosswind at that speed), well below the vehicle cushion supported weight of 51,950 lb.  Vehicle drag is 7920 lb at 300 mph; drag levels can be reduced 10-15 percent with an aft streamline tail fairing.  (Author)]]></description>
