MAIN-LINE HIGH-SPEED GROUND VEHICLE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering; ground vehicles for carrying people and light-weight loads. SUBSTANCE: main-line high-speed transportation device has overpass on supports with guide H-beams and aircraft with two propellers set into rotation by electric motors and building up thrust. Chute with current conductors is laid along center of overpass which limits deflection of aircraft in horizontal plane.
