SkyTran - Individual Maglev System

Array
Car  |  Transportation
The UniModal Transport Solutions developed a concept for a very high-capacity and high-speed Personal Rapid Transport (PRT) network -The SkyTran. The contaminated said that "This SkyTran system operates with individual, two-passenger vehicles, which are propelled and suspended by a maglev system from overhead guideways. These are laid out in a one mile by one mile networked grid throughout the city. A large number of small departure and exit portals are placed underneath the guideways at approximately every 400 metres or at every city block."
It has no fixed routes or timetables, you can enter any departure portal, get into the first empty vehicle in the queue and select their destination. At the selected exit portal, the vehicle enters a deceleration lane where the speed is reduced until it stops at the arrival portal. Individual vehicles are capable of speeds up to 160 kilometres per hour within city limits or 240 kilometres per hour between cities. Check out more for the video of SkyTran.

Array
Car  |  Transportation
A venture funded largely by the European Space Agency and the European Union. A2 being called the "Son of Concorde", the revolutionary aircraft with a top speed of 3,400mph aims to fly between London (or Brussels) and Sydney in under five hours. This commercial plane is designed to carry 300 passengers and will reach speeds of Mach 5 ¨C five times the speed of sound. Its hi-tech liquid hydrogen-powered engines will be fuelled by liquid hydrogen( will also produce few carbon emissions, making air travel much greener). At 433ft long (132m), the A2 is half the length of the Titanic and weighs 400 tonnes, lighter than a Boeing 747. If built, the cost of a ticket on the A2 - which will cruise at an altitude of 100,000ft (30,480m) - from Europe to Australia is estimated to be around £2,000. Link

Acabion GTBO

Array
Car  |  Transportation
Although Acabion GTBO is gas powered it is very fuel-efficient. What struck me about it is the power - 750 hp and 700 lbs vehicle this results in more than 2,100 hp per ton. If you want to compare, the famous Bugatti Veyron has about 500 hp per ton, F1 cars have about 1,500 hp per ton. Max speed of Acabion GTBO is 340 mph at half throttle, governor limited. It does 0 to 300 mph in less than 30 sec.The Acabion GTBO minimizes weight and maximizes power and aerodynamic efficiency. 100 mph at 1.7% throttle and 100 miles per gallon;150 mph at 4.3% throttle and 62 miles per gallon;250 mph at 17% throttle and 25 miles per gallon. There is also an electric version of the Acabion for city use with distances up to 300 miles. You might think that it isn't safe to drive and you might be right. However nothing is safe at 300 mph. The Acabion GTBO is starting with prices of 1.83 Million Euro. Time to build one GTBO is three years?! If you want to get one, first you are a rich guy!
