Artist's rendering of the proposed skyTran design
Skytran (stylized as skyTran) is a personal rapid transit system concept. It was first proposed by the inventor Douglas Malewicki in 1990 and was under development by Unimodal Inc. A prototype of the skyTran vehicle and a section of track have been constructed. The early magnetic levitation system, Inductrack, which SkyTran has replaced with a similar proprietary design, has been tested by General Atomics with a full-scale model.[1] In 2010, Unimodal signed an agreement with NASA to test and develop skyTran.[2] skyTran had proposed additional projects in France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[3][4][5][6]
