Britain's experimental hovertrain, designed to carry passengers at speeds of up to 300 miles an hour, made its first public run today... It is based on two inventions : the peripheral jet air cushion, which gives the vehicle support and guidance and the linear electric motor, which provides propulsion and braking.  3, record 1, English, - peripheral%20jet%20air%20cushion

The Pan-American Highway is a network of roads nearly 48, 000 kilometres(29, 800 miles) in total length. Except for an 87 kilometre(54 mi) rainforest gap, called the Darién Gap, the road links the mainland nations of the Americas in a connected highway system. According to Guinness World Records, the Pan-American Highway is the world's longest "motorable road". However, because of the Darién Gap, it is not possible to cross between South America and Central America by traditional motor vehicle. The Pan-American Highway system is mostly complete and extends from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, in North America to the lower reaches of South America. Several highway termini are claimed to exist, including the cities of Puerto Montt and Quellón in Chile and Ushuaia in Argentina. No comprehensive route is officially defined in Canada and the United States, though several highways there are called "Pan-American". The Pan-American Highway passes through many diverse climates and ecological types, from dense jungles to cold mountain passes. Since the highway passes through many countries, it is far from uniform. Some stretches of the highway are passable only during the dry season, and in many regions driving is occasionally hazardous.  1, record 5, English, - Pan%2DAmerican%20Highway

La transaméricaine ou autoroute panaméricaine est un système de voies rapides et d'autoroutes qui relie l'ensemble des Amériques : il est composé d'un axe principal qui parcourt le continent du nord au sud et de plusieurs axes secondaires transversaux. Sa longueur varie de 24 000 à 48 000 km [...], en raison du décompte d'axes secondaires ou de sections ne faisant pas officiellement partie du réseau; en particulier, l'ensemble du réseau routier fédéral des USA est officiellement reconnu comme faisant partie du système panaméricain, sans axe privilégié, ni signalisation particulière. Pour ces mêmes raisons, les différents auteurs ne s'accordent pas sur les points extrémaux du réseau. Conçue en 1923 pour être une route unique, la panaméricaine est finalement un raccord de différentes autoroutes construites par les pays participant au projet. La connexion du nord au sud est quasiment achevée : en 1997, il restait à réaliser deux tronçons totalisant 87 kilomètres au niveau du Panama et de la Colombie, mais la nécessité de traverser des parcs nationaux suscite une forte opposition et occasionne un retard important.  1, record 5, French, - transam%C3%A9ricaine

La Carretera Panamericana o "Ruta Panamericana", es un sistema colectivo de carreteras, de aproximadamente 48.000 km de largo, que vincula a casi todos los países del hemisferio occidental del continente americano con un tramo unido de carretera. Fue concebida en la V Conferencia Internacional de los Estados Americanos en 1923, celebrándose el Primer Congreso Panamericano de Carreteras en Buenos Aires en 1925, al que siguieron los de 1929 y 1939. La Carretera Panamericana se encuentra casi completa, y se extiende desde Alaska en América del Norte hasta la Patagonia en América del Sur. El tramo notable que impide que la carretera se conecte completamente es un tramo de 87 km de selva montañosa dura, ubicado entre el extremo este de Panamá y el noroeste de Colombia llamado el Tapón de Darién.  1, record 5, Spanish, - Carretera%20Panamericana

The Common Aero Vehicle is a maneuvering reentry vehicle capable of carrying a payload(primarily munitions) down from a suborbital or orbital atmospheric reentry and either impacting a target directly or dispensing munitions at a chosen dispense location and condition. CAV has a relatively high hypersonic lift to drag ratio(L/D) to give good cross-range. CAV cross-range is roughly 1000 times the hypersonic L/D and typical CAV hypersonic L/Ds of 2. 0-3. 0 thus give 2000-3000 nautical miles of cross-range. CAV needs to be deployed at very high velocities to be effective and Mach numbers less than 20 for suborbital deliveries produce relatively short ranges and cross-ranges.  2, record 6, English, - common%20aero%20vehicle

La Darpa vient de lancer un appel à propositions pour réaliser un drone (sans pilote) spatial hypersonique ou Hypersonic Cruise Vehicle. L'objectif serait d'obtenir, vers 2025, un engin capable de décoller d'une piste conventionnelle, sur préavis court, et de frapper n'importe où dans le monde un objectif ponctuel, sans dégâts collatéraux. Il serait propulsé par un statoréacteur, aurait un rayon d'action de 17.000 kms, une vitesse de Mach 5 à 7. Il pourrait emporter une charge de 5,5 t. Cette dernière pourrait être constituée de bombes intelligentes ou d'un CAV (Common Aéro Vehicule), sorte de planeur hypersonique capable de rentrée dans atmosphère pour frapper un objectif distant de 5.000 kms. On disposerait ainsi d'une configuration de type marsupial (une mère portant un enfant).  1, record 6, French, - CAV

In basic terms, the initial NASA concept for the two-stage Space Shuttle called for a smaller manned winged vehicle to sit atop a larger manned winged vehicle. These would be pad-launched from a vertical position. The larger winged vehicle would be called the "Booster", while the smaller winged vehicle would be called the "Orbiter". The Booster would carry the Orbiter to an altitude of about 50 miles. The Orbiter would then separate and fire its own engines to reach orbit.  2, record 12, English, - winged%20vehicle
