Our Mission
Sky Train’s mission is development
and commercialization of our unique
overhead suspended transit systems
To implement new technology as work
progresses for future systems and
surrounding enhancements
2
Speed on Curves Reduces Fleet Size & Trip Time!
Three (3) Times Faster than Competing Systems!
3
Modular Construction Allows Rapid Erection
For Future Emergency Evacuation, Rescue & Supply!
Minimal disruption of business and utilities!
Uses Efficient Standard Components - Providing Best Modal Connectivity!

Emergency evacuations: Safety &
Capacity of transportation systems
• 2005 Hurricanes at New Orleans have provoked intense discussion of
the problems of evacuating great numbers of residents.
• Normally an open highway with three lanes of traffic should carry up
to 3,600 automobiles per hour, totally inadequate to evacuate.
• Congestion on the highway brought the traffic to a standstill.
• This experience has highlighted a need for a robust low energy
consuming, high-capacity, wind-resistant transit system, capable of
rapidly transporting residents and workers:
• Away from hazards to safe locations or emergency shelters.
• As a rescue vehicle, able to return workers and supplies regardless of
damage and flooding on the ground. Able to manipulate personnel and
equipment enroute using improved helicopter lifts!
• One Sky Train line can transport up to 40,000 passengers per hour!

DESIGN SUPERIORITY – HIGHLIGHTS - OVER EXISTING SYSTEMS:
HURRICANE / EARTHQUAKES & FLOODS:
Structure & electronics overhead, avoiding delays and damage by floods
Excellent for evacuation, rescue and re-supply of victims from above
Can carry lightning protection of components and mount street lights
Operates in high winds, shifting sands, cannot derail
IMPROVED PASSENGER & FREIGHT FEATURES:
High speeds on curves with excellent passenger comfort
Ground directed views for security, shopping and sightseeing
Designed for best energy use, with regenerative storage capability
Short distance for Intermodal passenger transfer
Level entry for speedy boarding, baggage transfer, bicycles & handicapped
Rail system uses modern components and trained staff
Mature automation systems, safety, low cost and long service times
Interchangeable or dual use for freight in off hours, saves road use
TERRORISM & SECURITY SOLUTIONS:
Overhead structure hard to sabotage, columns designed against explosives
CCTV cameras, sensors & passenger observation create monitored route
Overhead structures can carry fiber-optics, fluids, electricity & other systems
Able to monitor pipelines, even act as fire protection from vehicles
Chassis without car below is invisible and in stealth mode for surveillance

Monorail Transportation & Land Use
Safety – Grade separated, cannot derail - no traffic accidents
Reliability – Proven technology, high capacity allows scheduling
Natures Fury – Reliable evacuation service over floods and high
winds, monorail does not require drainage features
Speed – Designed for any required speed no traffic congestion
Environment – No fences separating lands no rights of way at
grade, no children & animals on tracks, minimal pollution
Cost – Minimal land occupancy & utility relocation at grade,
capacity more then 9 lanes of roadway, competitive fares

The Rewards and Benefits of Sky Train
Phone 727-939-2177
•
The Sky Train System:
•
A suspended Monoduct provides:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
* High speed, high capacity transit service, no imposed speed limits
* Swings on curves for passenger comfort allowing greater speed
* Suspended overhead passes above all traffic and land uses
* Operates above congestion allowing fast unimpeded service
* Designed to continue operating in high winds
* Safety: Vehicles are locked in the supporting structure
* Descends to ground level if necessary
* Can climb twice the rate of the maximum suggested for highways
* Uses light rail components performance-tested in existing services
* Preferred electric operation ensures good Air Quality
* Components mostly standard off the shelf = low cost due to
competitive bidding
* One (1) Sky Train OSLR transports the equivalent of nine (9) or
more Bus lanes
* Uses less power than rubber tired systems
* Can be totally automated at low cost, the same as any subway
* Can also be used for heavy freight
•
The Sky Train Car designs:
•
•
* Cars 10ft (3.0m) wide, 40ft to 80ft (12.2m to 24.3m) long for high
capacity and comfort
* From single cars up to full length trains offer transportation
capacities equaling modern subways
* Cars and stations can be air conditioned for comfort in hot climates
* Level walk-in offers double passenger loading rates compared with
up and down steps
* Wide-door, level walk-in for handicapped, wheelchairs and bicycles
* Wide-door, level walk-in for accessing baggage trolleys and
containers
•
* A modular constructed duct offering low overall cost and
assembly time
* The track, signaling and power supply are installed safely
inside the duct
* Traction components inside are protected against adverse
environmental and climatic conditions
* Operation continues despite high winds, snow, freezing
rain, flooding, fallen trees etc.
* Powered trucks move inside the ducts, as a sound barrier
affording acoustic isolation
* Ducts are inaccessible to trespassers or saboteurs,
ensuring safe operation
* Does not occupy right of way on the ground, no children
playing on tracks
* Supporting columns occupy minimal land, minimizing
property condemnation
* No tracks in the streets diminishing highway capacity, nor
trains causing accidents, injuries and deaths
* Does not require right of way fences, nor crash and
isolation barriers
* Has no grade crossings - no delaying road traffic, accident
risks, pollution from automobiles idling
* Ecologically friendly, no weeds needing chemical spraying
* Has no place for trash to accumulate on tracks, ditches,
gutters or fenced areas
* Does not need drainage systems or retention ponds
* Minimal environmental impact, e.g. sight, noise, lubricants,
dust and dirt, wild life, plant life, wet lands, lakes and rivers
* Simplicity insures easier Regulatory and Legal Approvals
