ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF LEVITATION RAILWAY

A short article by the Project Director reviews progress in this research, and introduces a series of 7 articles dealing with: the main alternative types of guideway considered for the 7-km Miyazaki Test Track, for a 13-tonne vehicle moving at 500 km/h, the superconductive magnetic levitation system, the propulsion by linear synchronous motor, the dynamic property of the guideway girder, motion characteristics of a magnetically levitated vehicle, and the power supply and control system for linear synchronous motor traction.
