This report describes the development of preliminary design tradeoff studies for a single vehicle aerial guideway to accommodate a vehicle traveling on air cushions at speeds up to 300 miles per hour. Three guideway structure types were studied: (1) the Inverted Tee, (2) the Double L (or Channel), and (3) the Box (or Inverted Channel). each of these structural types were analyzed for the purpose of determining the most economical construction material, the optimum span length, the tolerance requirements, construction methods and maintenance procedures.
