CHARACTERISTICS AND DEVELOPMENT OF MAGNETIC LEVITATION TRANSPORT SYSTEMS IN 1980

CARACTERISTIQUES ET DEVELOPPEMENT DES SYSTEMES DE TRANSPORT A SUSTENTATION MAGNETIQUE EN 1980

The article reviews recent experiments with magnetic levitation land transport systems, considers the possible theoretical technologies for the levitation, guiding and propulsion functions, and shows that in the final analysis there are very few coherent systems, in which the motor design is decisive.
