A transportation system for supersonic travel including a conduit containing an atmosphere that exhibits high aerodynamic tunneling performance, or high gas efficacy, and a vehicle designed to operate within the conduit. The vehicle traveling within the conduit along a support and guide structure that is complementary to a support and guidance system of the vehicle. The vehicle being propelled through the conduit via a propulsion system that includes contra-rotating propellers.

A rail vehicle includes a device compartment for accommodating a device, a protective flap for protecting the device compartment, and a decorative flap at least partially hiding or covering the protective flap. The decorative flap has a lower degree of rigidity or stiffness than the protective flap.

A vehicle which is intended to travel along a downward sloping cable, which is suspended between two supports having a change in elevation. Preferably, the vehicle includes a fuselage, a trolley assembly, a translation system, a seat, a counterweight system, and at least one wing. The trolley assembly is attached to the cable. This connection allows the vehicle to travel along the cable. A counterweight system is included in order to balance the weight of the rider sitting in the seat below the fuselage. This allows the vehicle to easily rotate, via rotary joint, around the cable while traveling along the line. Preferably, the rider can induce roll by either activating ailerons or by rotating one of the wings about the lateral axis in order to increase the lift on one side of the aircraft depending on whether the wings are fixed.

The present invention relates to methods, apparatuses, and systems for controlling the density of a fluid near a functional object in order to improve one or more relevant performance metrics. In certain embodiments, the present invention relates to forming a low density region near the object utilizing a directed energy deposition device to deposit energy along one or more paths in the fluid. In certain embodiments, the present invention relates to synchronizing energy deposition with one or more parameters impacting the functional performance of the object.
