This company has plans to convert old airplane fuselages into hanging monorails.
# The actual Tram car is constructed from de-commissioned Boeing 727's, 737's, and 757's that are stripped of their wings, engines, and tails.
# The fuselages become compartments equipped with solar cells and battery storage.
# These compartments are attached to a rail system by permanent magnet regenerative motorized wheels.
# Power is provided through solar electricity, wind power, regenerative breaking and fuel cells.
# The system of single rails is hung from suspension cables, made level with support cables.
IMO: I have no idea whether this will work but some such ideas may be useful to use old or un-ecological components constructively and ecologically. Often equivalent ideas can be important after local disputes or wars.I have seen old cultural centres, for example, never to be built or completed after a change in Government, for example in the Philipines - not that they would convert to a monorail of course, but the feeling is that waste of unwanted large items everywhere should cease.
