16 August 1972 Transrapid 03 Munich Scrapped By Krauss-Maffei. Air-cushion vehicle (ACV or hovercraft) propelled by a linear motor. The system was abandoned in 1973 due to the too high noise generation and the too large consumption. Attempts in France (Aérotrain) and in the USA ([1]) led in the following years to similar decisions. 930 m test track. 140 (September 1972)
