This invention is an airtrain, it is a half airplane and a half train. All parts and their functions are the exactly same as an airplane. It looks like a train but it functions and operates like an airliner. It does not fly in high altitude like an airliner but it stays close to the ground level in the ground effect. It is a two large airliner symmetrically joined together rear to rear of another same type of airliner. Depending on the configuration of an airtrain the speed and passenger carrying capability can easily surpass the speed trains that are operational today. An airtrain power comes from jet engines totally independent from electricity and steel tracts and by not having them it offers many advantages. This eliminates the complicated electrical power grids and wiring along the tracks which translates into billions of dollars in savings.
