    This article concerned with technological innovations and performance of the UAQ4 Italian maglev train project which aims mainly to reduce energy consumption by eliminating any ordinary resistance to motion (magnetic drag included), except the aerodynamic drag if it operates in atmospheric environment. The technological feasibility of the UAQ4 suspension and propulsion devices has been patented and successfully laboratory tested. The train architecture and the work's principles of suspension and propulsion devices are all innovative, with concepts and technologies close to the aeronautical transport system
