The first part of this study attempts a comparison of different configurations of high speed air cushion vehicles and guideways. Different means of propulsion are compared. The second part of this study aims at describing a vehicle and trace to perform a test program. A common vehicle frame quipped with a fan jet can accommodate the existing linear induction motor. Tests of the most interesting track form and structure, tests of all suspensions and trials of alternate means of aerodynamic propulsion with their noise attenuation systems can be performed.
