✦ Synopsis

The paper is a survey of theoretical achievements on electro-dynamic suspension of high speed ground vehicles with superconducting magnets. The most essential problems connected with the subject in question are discussed, namely: calculation of lift and drag forces acting on a superconducting magnet, the latter moving above a guideway structure which may be of two different types (either conducting sheet or a series of discrete loops); influence of irregularities of the guideway structure," vertical and longitudinal stability of suspension.
