TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM HIGH SPEED MODULE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to streamlined bodies of vehicles. Proposed module has body with spherical front part, drop-like middle part with flattened lower surface and cone-shaped rear part, all parts smoothly changing one into the other. Rear cone-shaped part of body is made with generating surface of alternating curvature, and generating surfaces of rear cone-shaped part of body feature different degree of curvature in horizontal and vertical planes. Definite relationships between body member sizes are used to reduce drag coefficient and increase dynamic stability. EFFECT: increased energy characteristics of transportation system at increased dynamic stability. 6 cl, 25 dwg
