A vision for the future of long-distance travel

The Aeroslider is an ambitious response to the growing need for sustainable transportation solutions that enhance the travel experience. Inspired by the elegance of high-speed rail and the efficiency of maglev technology, the Aeroslider envisions a transportation system connecting the most populous cities in Europe, Africa, and Asia – capable of spanning vast distances with unprecedented efficiency.

With a terrestrial yet rail-less passenger system and an expected cruising speed at 800 km/h, the Aeroslider is designed to be a futuristic intercontinental travel solution.

The Aeroslider is equipped with linear magnets that propel it through a connected system of electromagnetic portals. Portal loops can be powered by localized energy sources. The incorporation of helium reservoirs within the capsule reduces the effective weight by about 10%, reducing the energy necessary for its propulsion.

The system is designed for comfortable long-distance travel by combining sitting spaces with private cabins; incorporating a running track, open plaza area, restaurant, bars, gyms and multi-purpose rooms which can accommodate meetings and work when commuting.

The Aeroslider aligns with Manyone's commitment to designing for a better future, built with sustainability at the core. Its infrastructure—a network of elevated tracks—is designed to have minimal impact on the surrounding environment, preserving ecosystems and communities.

The single-track system is designed to reduce construction costs and integrate with existing infrastructure in urban areas, with its loops allowing unobtrusive passage above irregular terrain, rivers, and animal crossings.

This concept could reshape how we think about mobility, allowing for faster, more efficient, and more sustainable travel while bridging cultural and geographic divides.

In many ways, the Aeroslider concept exemplifies Manyone’s ethos: combining design, creativity, and technology to create innovative solutions that address global challenges. It showcases that design has the power to transform not just products, but the world.
