The 422km/h Hovertrain That Destroyed The Rail Speed Record: What Happened To Aerotrain 01 & 02?

The Aerotrain is a forgotten legend of French engineering: an experimental 1960s hovertrain that destroyed the world speed record for rail vehicles at the time. And in my last video, we visited the old abandoned test track where the record-breaking runs were made. But what happened to the two test vehicles themselves? Are they still around? I decided to try and hunt them down...

“Now, although they _call_ this a museum, it’s really just a group of volunteer enthusiasts with a warehouse…” With all due respect, Tim, I’m pretty sure most vehicle-oriented museums fit that exact description (with some exceptions, obviously).

As we are giving examples, here two more: The California State Railroad Museum, funded in part by the state and donations etc, volunteers welcome. And down the road a bit, The Western Railroad Museum, funded entirely by private donations and staffed by volunteers. On operating weekends you can ride an old electric car(tram to those in foreign lands) down five and a half miles of an ex-interurban line (shameless plug) 😁

Thanks for this video Tim. I immediately put a little dot on my ‘places to visit’ map and when we were near Versailles last weekend we went there. The Univem people were there although a lot of their vehicles were on their way to Normandy. They gave us a fantastic tour, I learned some new things and was able to share some info with them in return. They also shared their box of cherries with us. They unveiled the Aèro trains and then introduced me us to Thierry Farges, thé man from the Jean Bertin foundation. He showed us his photo albums and we talked for a long time. Did you see the photo’s from when they found them? They were a total wreck! They really did an amazing job restoring them to this condition. If anyone wants to visit, know that you will be very welcome. We were! And the small hover transporter actually worked at the Paris motor show in Paris and it was a great succes!

@@TheTimTraveller Yes the last aérotrain prototype (the closest to the production version) was able to bring 80 passengers on board, with a speed record of slightly over 400 km/h. L'histoire derrière tout ceci, est plutôt triste. Deux des prototypes les plus avancés ont été détruits par un incendie criminel, visant à détruire et anéantir toutes chances d'un possible retour de ce concurrent. Ok on se doute forcément que le coupable a été engagé, et était lié de loin ou de près au TGV, qui ne voyait pas d'un bon œil l'aérotrain. Ils avaient clairement peur du génie de Jean Bertin, et de son projet, et ce malgré l'abandon du projet de l'aérotrain par le gouvernement français. Ils ont quand-même mené cette action criminel afin de brûler l'aérotrain, malgré le fait qu'ils avaient déjà gagné les faveurs du gouvernement. Cela montre vraiment à quel point ils ne se sentaient pas en paix. D'ailleurs, vous pourrez ajouter dans votre prochaine vidéo sur l'aérotrain, que le TGV a fortement bénéficié de l'appui du président Giscard d'Estaing, dont la femme était bizarrement lié/issue de la famille Alstom, société ayant créée le TGV. Si le président Pompidou n'était pas mort soudainement, l'aérotrain aurait été une réalité en France.

Two larger experimental units were tested 1969 to 1977 on a longer test track Saran to Ruan that was intended to become part of a possible later line Paris to Orléans. Aérotrain I80 HV (an 80-seater built 1969 with a propeller and modified in 1974 with a jet engine), stored in Chevilly after the tests ended in 1977, was unfortunately destroyed in a fire 1992. Aérotrain S44 (a suburban version with linear motor also of 1969) was destroyed by fire 1991 in Gometz-la-Ville. SNCF was not part of the project. But the threat of competition by a new system led them to develop a high speed train on wheels and rails that was compatible to the existing network. As the high speed tests of 1955 had destroyed several pantographs, at first a gas turbine train was tested (TGV 001) until the project was developed further into the electric TGV that we have today, with the first high speed line LGV Sud-Est built 1976 to 1981.

So sad. I've been reading as little about him online and even in photographs, he goes from a dashing, smartly dressed gentleman to having a very melancholic distant look in his eyes. Those individual pods look identical to what they are suggesting now, 50 years later, as an alternative transport system. They are not a great solution as the problem then and now is that you cannot move many people on individual pods on the same rail. The solution for that is something called trains. The hyperloop is over 100 years old technology and yet Richard Branson got scammed into putting millions into it. Sorry I went way off course waffling. Trains! I did it again!
