A survey of present proposals for magnetic levitation is presented, in addition to a brief discussion of various factors involved in the development of such a mode of suspension. While the variety of possible systems is considerable, only a few of these have been adequately researched.

    In the United States, emphasis has been placed upon systems obtaining levitation heights of several inches, derived from the repulsion arising between a moving superconducting coil and a metallic track in which currents are induced. In England, efforts have been concentrated on suspension utilizing the repulsion of permanent magnets; while clearances are small (roughly 1 cm.), drag losses inherent in the American schemes are absent, and levitation exists without the necessity for the forward motion of the vehicle.

    The development of magnetic suspension has not advanced far beyond the stage of theory, fundamental experiment, and demonstration of models. For this reason, it is expected that magnetic suspension, while having several advantages over conventional modes of suspension, will not be available before the 1980's.

    The paper is concluded with a brief appraisal of biological and ecological effects in Appendix E.
