Abstract
Magnetically active elements, namely magnets or superconducting elements respectively, are incorporated respectively in an air vehicle and in a guide path on which the air vehicle is to land, take-off and/or taxi. A cooling apparatus may be provided to cool the superconducting elements. The magnets may be electromagnets, and an electrical energy source and a controller are provided to energize the electromagnets in an independently controlled manner. The magnets produce a magnetic field, and the superconducting elements expel the magnetic field and cause a quantum levitation effect, by which the air vehicle is supported in a contact-free manner above the guide path. Thus, the air vehicle may omit mechanical landing gear.
