Canadian developments in the application of superconducting magnets for levitation, synchronous propulsion, and guidance of high speed inter-city ground transport are described. A review of cryogenic systems indicates that isochoric dewar operation is best suited for Maglev vehicles. The test facility, using stationary full-scale superconducting magnets and guideway components mounted on a 100 km h(power -1) vertical axis 7.6 m diameter wheel, is now fully operational and LSM tests are being performed.
