Abstract :
Summary form only given as follows. Today, ground and air transportation remains effective but separate modes of operation. Cars are relegated to streets and highways and benefits of aircraft are not realized until they are airborne. Using Resonant Macrosonic Synthesis (RMS) and hydraulic turbine propulsion, this paper introduces a new class of transportation system-The AirShip. An Oregon company, AirShip Technologies, is developing this Vertical Lift Transport Vehicle to fly 300 to 400 feet above ground as well as drive on city streets
