The technology of tracked air cushion vehicles (TACV) is under study as part of a systems engineering activity of intercity high speed ground transportation. An experimental wind-tunnel test program is being conducted to provide supporting air cushion and body aerodynamic data for ongoing analytical and design studies at TRW and elsewhere. Selected results for two of the TACV models tested are presented in this report. (Author)
