Abstract: 1. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, especially a track for a magnetically levitated vehicle, wherein the beam (1) possesses an upper flange (2) and a lower flange (3), and is supported at specific intervals on piers (9), and on the outside of said upper flange (2), functional elements (7) for the guidance of the vehicle are placed and, as seen in the longitudinal direction of the beam (1) no cross-sectional changes of the beam (1) are provided, characterized in that the outer surfaces of the beam (1) are so built as to be air-flow friendly in relation to the vehicle, and the lower flange (3) of the beam (1) exhibits a width transverse to the longitudinal direction of the beam (1) which surmounts the piers (9) in an airflow technological manner, and thereby, the air which is displaced by the vehicle uniformly flows away from the beam (1). 2. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according to Claim 1, characterized in that the beam (1) has a hollow space (5). 3. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the beam (1) possesses an attachment console (12) which is placed or is shaped to cover and shield the piers (9) in an airflow friendly manner. 4. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the beam (1) possesses at least one opening (10) for inspection of the hollow space of the beam (1). 5. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that within the hollow space (5) of the beam (1), are laid supply lines and/or communication lines which are dependent on and/or independent of, the operation of a vehicle. 6. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according to one of the foregoing claims, in characterized in that the beam (1) allows for a clearance space (6) for the reception of the guide elements (7) which engage the functional elements of a vehicle. 7. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that on the under flange (3), and/or on the outlying bearing console, support elements (8) for supporting the beam (1) are placed on the piers (9). 8. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the beam (1) is made of concrete, and especially is a precast concrete component. 9. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the lower flange (3) is broader than the upper flange (2). 10. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that that the beam (1) possesses a bulkhead and/or haunches. 11. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the beam (1), in curved areas of the carriageway, forms a space curve, in that the upper flange (2) of the beam (1) is rotated about the beam's longitudinal axis and a radius is formed by lengthening or shortening the cantilever arm. 12. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the beam (1) in curve areas of the carriageway forms a spatial curve, wherein fastening consoles of the functional elements (7) in the longitudinal run of the beam (1) are offset as to height and by means of the lengthening or the shortening of the fastening consoles a radius is formed. 13. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the hollow space (5) of the beam (1) is open at the bottom, wherein the lower flange (3) is constructed in two parts. 14. A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the hollow space (5) of the beam (1) possesses bulkheads for the reinforcement of the beam (1). 15. A carriageway with a beam for a track guided high speed vehicle according, in particular, to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the beam (1), in curved areas of the carriageway, is shorter and under some circumstances lower than in straight areas of the carriageway. 16. The carriageway according to claim 15, characterized in that the beam (1), in curved areas of the carriageway, forms a space curve, in that the upper flange (2) of the beam (1) is rotated about the beam's longitudinal axis and a radius is formed by lengthening or shortening the cantilever arm. 17. The carriageway according to claim 15 or 16, characterized in that the beam (1) in curve areas of the carriageway forms a spatial curve, wherein fastening consoles of the functional elements (7) in the longitudinal run of the beam (1) are offset as to height and by means of the lengthening or the shortening of the fastening consoles a radius is formed.
