We are making progress on building and installing the final 895 feet (272.98 m) of our outdoor test guideway. The pictures below show the progression in 2012 and the installation of 400 feet (122 m) of guideway. The curved section is a 180° banked curve with a 48 foot (14.64 m) radius. This equates to a full size train operating on a 262 foot (79.91 m) radius or 22° curve. The final 495 feet (150.98 m) - soon to be installed - includes a few straight sections to connect the 2%, 6%, and 10% grades to the curve, curve sections, and straight sections that follow the curve. This will complete the guideway project with a total length of 2095 feet (638.98 m).  ​
