A World-Transforming

For over a century, current highway/railway/waterway/airway modes of transit have evolved at a snail's pace with a stalemate toward emergence of a dominant mode of transit in the 5-500 mile transit.  A new alternative multimodal technology has emerged that bridges these technologies using existing infrastructure while enabling lower transit times, lower costs, and reduced energy.

Unlike the vast majority of air taxi concepts, Ground Effect Flight Transit (GEFT) is extremely energy efficient and requires no new infrastructure.

The technology is a result of identifying a airfoil science which puts an end to which "theory of lift" is correct.  That science is a new paradigm and qualifies as a scientific revolution comprising the steps:  a) a crisis, b) a new science/paradigm  answers solves the crisis and beyond, c) the science was developed by a scientist outside the prominent profession of the crisis (in this case, a chemical engineer performing aircraft design), and d) the established profession is dominated by those taught in the old paradigm who refuse to look as the basic scientific facts. 

New Ground-Effect Flight Transit (GEFT) is poised to be a world-transforming advance including the following aspects:

• No new infrastructure (only vehicles) is needed to reduce total transit times by more than half including the highest highspeed trains operating on rails not suitable for other highspeed vehicles,
• Incredible access to facilities uses existing railway and subway stations as well as very simple bus stops including widespread use of nonstop transit,
• Major advances in efficiency substantially expanding what is possible with electric vehicles/trucks and vehicle-based solar power.  
• GEFT is inherently multimodal allowing vehicles to seamlessly travel from railway to highway to waterway corridors offering a truly revolutionary advance in speed and efficiency for lake/bay/coastal/island communities, and
• The system is an open-ended technology which means greater and greater applications will evolve and manifest which are poised to dominate transit in the 5-2000 mile range.

What were considered unattainable in 2023, now have paths of short timelines to realize, including:   solar-powered trucks, solar-powered passenger aircraft, and trans-modal ground-effect vehicles cutting time and costs by 50% to  80%.  

The underlying problems of past explanations of aerodynamic lift are well known,  No One Can Explain Why Planes Stay in the Air.  The accurate science is now known, An Airfoil Science Including Causality.
