Maglev Flight While NASA began electromagnetic propulsion experiments at the toy-class scale in 2004, most of the population is content to watch chemical and fossil fuel-powered flights (i.e. gasoline, kerosene, LOX). The real significance lies in leveraging the cost of energy. Any exo-planetary atmosphere flight involves a short 2 km vertical ascent from some desert or mountain, well, at least for an ICBM with a diminished Infrared signature at launch.

Humans and living organisms cannot withstand 40G and faster acceleration, so humans would require an electromagnetic accelerator runway (ELWAY) on the order of perhaps 20 miles vectored on an upward slope, perhaps from the base of a very tall mountain.

In 2008, with the rising cost of jet fuel, commercial aviation opted to reduce speed to save money. Maglev Aircraft would speed up to save money. The advantage of Maglev Aircraft lies in the shortened travel time due to the need for speed in order to remain energy-efficient. A tourist from the Swiss Alps could travel around the globe to Australia in a mere 90 minutes whereas a conventional aircraft would waste 24 hours. Time is money.

Next up is cost, Maglev Flights use electricity; sources include coal, wind, solar, nuclear and hydroelectric dams among other sources. It is estimated that a suborbital flight around the globe would cost between one dollar to ten dollars per pound of human cargo. One might hope that this fact may pressure the reversal of the use of passport as a means of controlling the US citizens travel abroad. The catch is the initial capital and research essential to bringing convenient, fast, safe, global maglev flights is on the order of billions but much less than the amount of money shipped out of the United States by the Bush manipulated government by the few for the few - perhaps its time to "supersize" congress.

Private capital markets abandoned Bush government restrictions pursuing profitable venues elsewhere while the value of the US dollar plummeted and oil profits soared. Personal rights are being trampled while the Bush Regime myers such opportunities in a quagmire of legal edicts of an emperor sliding the populous down the road to serfdom. Maglev Flights in this context are reduced to one of fantasy.
