TRACKED AIR CUSHION RESEARCH VEHICLE. VOLUME III. RESEARCH VEHICLE RESEARCH PLAN

The TACRV program will provide test data on ride comfort, performance, efficiency, and level of noise in operation, for use in the final design of a public demonstration system. The TACRV will be used to obtain test operation data, under actual forward speed conditions, in the areas of air cushion performance, suspension system dynamics, vehicle stability and control dynamics, vehicle/guideway dynamic interactions, linear induction motor (LIM)/vehicle performance and internal cabin and far field acoustics.
