PROGRAMME FOR TECHNICAL RESEARCH INTO VERY HIGH SPEEDS

A study of the areas which need to be researched for very high speed (up to 300 km/h) operation. The S.N.C.F. program of research for such operation is listed, stability, aerodynamics and train resistance, braking, adhesion, running gear, safety equipment, infra-structure, traction systems and collection are each discussed in detail. The problems, and possible solutions are also considered individually.
