Lots of pretty graphics, very little basic engineering sense.

Trains & aeroplanes werec rossed in the 1930s. The results were rather predictable, a stupid waste of energy.

Yeah, the way it 'lands' is just plain silly.

So were planes and boats.

Wouldn't the taxi leaving the car park have been blown away by the

Nope, because it levitates, stupid.

yup. Mind you they look a bit plastic.

So, the 'hovertrolley' or, how to waste energy keeping a train off the
rails when on the rails is simply better

yes, silly idea. And the shape is an aerodynamic fail.

Half empty car parks ,two lane Motorway that isn't really busy and
lots of spare seats on the vehicle.
Wouldn't make financial sense either.

Its an aeroplane (trolley plane after trolley bus?) really, it just
needs wires to get the nuke electricity to it.

You couldn't put one on rails, just look at how wide they would need to be.

Points and passing trains would be a problem as would alternate airports.

Nah, no need for wires, use ultraviolet lasers to ionise the air. What
could possibly go wrong?

No, the gyros will keep spinning for many tens of minutes, allowing
props to be lowered if necessary. Even if one gyro should fail, the
other will provide stability for plenty long enough.

Could you imagine it in winter with snow and rain and the leaves blowing everywhere.

Seems to combine the worst aspects for aircraft (energy consumption, noise,
dedicated landing area, limited access to cities, turbulence, susceptability
to weather) and trains ([enormous] dedicated right of way, track capacity
limitations, need for route electrification, one-dimensional movement). I
can't think of any situation where it would win over a conventional plane or
train.

Oh I can. In some tin pot third rate university where they are earnest
about 'climate change' and think windmills score over nuclear power
stations.

There it wins a design competition.

Its probably got Dyson, Sinclair or Virgin on it somewhere.

Stick the track on a sea bed, bring the power in from wires above the
water and you could have 21st century version of this.
