  • Abstract
    The effect on ride quality of levitating a vehicle with inductive maglev forces which are distributed along the length of the vehicle is described. For a Magneplane vehicle that is 50 m long traveling at 100 m/s, the effect is to substantially attenuate heave disturbances above 1.5 Hz and pitch disturbances above 3 Hz.
