This report presents a preliminary design for a Tracked Air Cusion Research Vehicle (TACRV). The proposed design meets performance, design, and test requirements prescribed by the OHSGT. The research program test requirements emphasize air cushion and suspension research. Additional research program investigations include subsystem interactions, aerodynamics, propulsion, noise, and vehicle/guideway interactions, especially as they affect ride quality and operational guideway design requirements. The experimental program is to provide engineering data and verification of analyses that will be applicable to the design of public demonstration TACV systems. (Author)
