U.S. Advanced Freight and Passenger Maglev System

Japan and Germany will operate first generation Maglev passenger systems commercially shortly after 2000A.D. The United States Maglev systems will require sophisticated freight and passenger carrying capability. The U. S. freight market is larger than passenger transport. A proposed advanced freight and passenger Maglev Project in Brevard County Florida is described. Present Maglev systems cost 30 million dollars or more per mile. Described is an advanced third generation Maglev system with technology improvements that will result in a cost of 10 million dollars per mile.
