Description
We can hardly imagine how many transportation modes
are now in existence. It is life that motivates the advent
of new vehicles. Our current progress in science and
technology provides a basis for new forms of transportation.
We may suppose that the immediate decades will
see new modes of transportation, and a pipedream of today
may predominate in the future. Surface transportation
will see superspeed trains with magnetic and air
suspension. Air traffic will be dominated by large jet aircraft,
primarily airbuses, and airships will also find
numerous applications. For cross water routes
hydrofoils, hovercraft, and ground-effect machines will
be used whose time-tables and navigation will be controlled
from space.
The book discusses the development of a number of
promising vehicles, such as fast wheelless trains, and
shows the perspectives of their advancement. The
material of the book is based on a great deal of facts concerning
the latest achievements in the field.
The book is intended for those who are interested in
the history of transportation, new technical ideas, and
the prospects of transportation technology.
