The design diagram of the all-superconducting HTS Maglev launch with a super-
high speed (i.e., in an EET system) is shown in Fig. 4.18 of Section 4.7.3. This project
included the HTS Maglev vehicle (Chapter 5, 7, and 8), HTS Maglev bearing (Chapter 9),
HTS Maglev FESS (Chapter 9), and above-mentioned HTS linear motor for Maglev
vehicle propulsion. The speed of the quasi-all-superconductive HTS Maglev launch
system was designed to be kilometers per second.
