The SkyTran Invention

One
critical aspect of the SkyTran invention: Most mass transportation systems envisioned by others cannot easily go up or down in short distances, so optimizing travel height for the convenience of the passengers, while maintaining an essential minimum clearance above all normal surface traffic during high speed travel is impossible. An important part of the SkyTran invention is this ability to move up and down in the third dimension in a short distance. As can be seen earlier, and to the left, it is planned to always have several two-passenger SkyTran vehicles waiting and ready at each Offline SkyTran Portal - a person just walks up, gets in and goes. No more waiting for a scheduled bus or train and no more rushing to make the bus or train's scheduled time. |
