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

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to vehicles featuring high aerodynamic properties and it can be used in high-speed string transportation system. Proposed module contains two similar streamlined bodies interconnected by coupled member and having mated sphere-like front, drop-like middle and cone-like rear parts. Rear cone-like part of body is made with generatrix of alternating curvature. To reduce drag coefficient and increase dynamic stability, definite relationships of dimensions of body members and their shape are proposed. EFFECT: improved dynamic stability of transport module and power characteristics of transportation system. 11 cl, 17 dwg
