Gravity-vacuum transit (GVT) is a passenger transportation system employing gravity and vacuum for propulsion. The report describes GVT for airport access and corridor applications. The report concentrates on those features of airport access and corridor GVT that differ from or are not present in Urban GVT. The use of a gate valve and crossporting between tubes for long stages is discussed and the resulting pneumatic cycle is described. Baseline configurations for Airport Access and Corridor systems are defined and performance data is presented. (Author)
