UST: News

The publication of a scientific edition by Anatoly Yunitskiy "String Transport Systems: on Earth and in Space" continues. The fundamental scientific paper sets out the theory, state of development, prospects and main results of the studies of high-speed land transportation, which moves along a string track structure, and non-rocket space transport in the form of a circular string system, covering the planet parallel to the equator.

Over 300 types and design variants of transportation systems are known at present. However, which of them is near-perfect? What is an ideal transportation system? Based on the analysis in chapter "Optimization of transportation system", the conclusion can be drawn that it is more feasible to build a high-speed road network in the 21^st century on supports using a stretched track structure without forming a solid roadbed. It is most reasonable to use a cylindrical steel wheel with an independent suspension as a propulsion unit. Fuel energy is best converted into mechanical work directly on board the vehicle, for example by means of an internal combustion engine. Such an elevated transport system is optimal from the standpoint of exact sciences — physics, mechanics, building mechanics, material resistance, aerodynamics, economic analysis — and is called Unitsky String Transport (UST) or SkyWay. No other prospective elevated transport system, including those described in science fiction (anti-gravity ships, gravitolyots, flying saucers, etc.) will have a higher technical, economic or environmental performance than SkyWay.
