The "Terraplane" BC.4 is a prototype air cushion transport vehicle developed by Bertin in the early 1960s. Powered by helicopter turbines, it later inspired Bertin to develop the "Aérotrain".

Okay, Oakland Zoo train is cool, but OMG the Oregon Zoo has a scaled down replica of an Aerotrain for their zoo train???? 🐶❤️

The US had its own Aerotrain. (France had the jet turbine Aérotrain.) It looked great, but was an underachiever: it struggled to reach 100 mph, and its overly-lightweight aluminum design made for a bumpy ride on non-welded tracks.
(Below, #Chicago, 1964.)
Back to the drawing board, Team USA!

We already did, more than once. The Aerotrain shared arguably too many parts with the fishbowls and rode terribly.
That said, is it an A+ kitbashing idea to hy-rail a Rapido fishbowl? Absolutely!

Race between the prototype Aérotrain and a Cessna T-337 G. This prototype, named "Aérotrain I80 HV", was capable of reaching speeds of 400km/h thanks to its monorail system and air cushion to minimise friction

These look like buses on rails because they *are* just buses on rails and are why the aerotrain failed

Imagine rolling up to the function in the Aerotrain demo parade float.
I have to imagine it’s still parked in some midwestern barn. Owner won’t sell bc he “swears I’m going to get it running again.”
