To determine technical feasibility of magnetically levitated and guided highspeed ground transportation vehicles theoretical analyses of four suspension systems were conducted: permanent magnet, electromagnet-ferromagnetic guideway, superconducting magnet, conducting coil guideway, superconducting magnet, conducting sheet guideway. All four were found to be feasible with the last preferred. A magnet-guideway interaction theory was formulated for it based on a Fourier transform calculation of fields from rectangular magnets, assuming the guideway conducting sheets to be infinite.
