Abstract

MBB is developing in co-operation with Krauss-Maffei a surface transportation system which is designed to cruise at
speeds up to 300 mph. The system is using magnetic forces generated by electrical power for lift and cruise propulsion.
There is an analogy to aircraft which are using aerodynamic forces to maintain motion through air. The paper compares
the basic performance characteristics of magnetic and aerodynamic forces relevant for the motion of aircraft and
magnetically suspended high-speed vehicles. As a result weight sensitivities are derived for both types of craft.
Such weight sensitivities are used as a basis for a comparison of basic economic characteristics.
