This is a  4 passenger system that runs on a very light weight steel elevated track similar to the modern roller coaster tracks. It can operate independently on a small site such as a mall, office parks, hospitals or campus. It can also be used to connect remote buildings with the Skyways stations. It is automated (driverless and uses a moving switch where necessary. It is slow from 10mph to 30 mph and can go around sharp corners such as a street or between buildings.

 

 


The SkyHawk runs on a rotary electric motor that drives 2 horizontal pinch  wheels for traction as shown to the left. The vertical wheels hold it firmly to the track like a roller coaster. It can be open air with doors or it can be enclosed.

 

 


Dimensions are approximately 12' long and less than 6' wide making SkyHawk the smallest vehicle in our family of products.

 
 



Because of the slow speeds, SkyHawk can use a mechanical switch which takes only 15 or so seconds to activate. This can be used in maintenance bays to save room

 
 


This vehicle can use a smart card to active the car and go to a selected destination. Click on image at left for more info.
