A remaining section of the Aérotrain track near Saran 2006. The Aérotrain was an experimental Tracked Air Cushion Vehicle (TACV), or hovertrain, developed in France from 1965 to 1977 under the engineering leadership of Jean Bertin (1917–1975) – and intended to bring the French rail network to the cutting edge of land-based public transportation.
This was a series of multi-skirt hovercraft built by SEDAM using and developing the skirt designs by French engineer Jean Bertin. The series included the Naviplane N102 , the Naviplane N300 and the N500 Naviplane , the N300 Naviplane was the first full-scale Naviplane designed for commercial use.
A diagram of the Herbst maneuver. (NASA) The Herbst maneuver (also known as a J-turn [1] [2]) is an air combat maneuver that uses post-stall technology such as thrust vectoring and advanced flight controls to achieve high angles of attack. [3]
In order to be used by the air pumps, it must first be brought up to vehicle speed. Similar effects occur with almost all high-speed vehicles: thus the reason for the large and complex air inlets on fighter aircraft, for instance, which slow the air down to speeds that their jet engines can ingest. In the case of a hovertrain design, the air ...
