xxi-st century transport text

it had been a long time since train velocities surpassed the 100 km/h limit and they are now approaching 200 km/h and even higher in some countries. but population growth, its mobility, the very tempo of life require ever greater speeds from ground transport. is it possible to increase the speed with the traditional wheel at the present stage in the development of transport facilities? scientists and engineers in various countries have come to the conclusion that a new leap in velocity is possible only if the wheel is replaced with an air or magnetic cushion.

the advantages of high-speed ground transport over the existing types are obvious. air and road transport burn three-fourths of all produced fuels and this naturally affects the earth's ecology

air or magnetic cushion - воздушная или магнитная подушка
