SWJTU (Fig. 4.14). Deng presents the pictures of the whole scene of the ring line and a
close-up of the second-generation HTS Maglev vehicle [71].
The new Maglev vehicle (2.2 m in length, 1.1 m in width) was designed for one
passenger with a levitation height of 15–20 mm; the PMG (45 m in length, 0.7 m of track
gauge) has a racetrack shape with a curve radius of 6 m, and driving was accomplished
