The results of the first tests of the tracked levitated research vehicle (TLRV) in the guideway at the High Speed Ground Test Center are presented for the body/chassis suspension mode. Vehicle dynamic response behavior and secondary suspension characteristics are discussed for operation on a smooth guideway. Braking performance is discussed for the speed range from 0 to 78 mph.
