Are U.S. aerospace companies like Boeing, Lockheed, Sikorsky… able to built high speed trains like Alstom or Siemens ?. I discovered that Sikorsky built a high speed turbotrain ( train with a gas turbine ) but commercially it was unsuccessful.
What do you think ?
They could, but it is doubtful they will.

They can, but turbines are still slow, the fastest trains use a magnet elevation system so they have no wheels and float on magnets, they are very fast.

No, those companies focus on Aerodynamics.
Trains are part of a separate engineering structure, mixing the two would be costly so it’ll never happen.

not in an economy as deep in the doo doo that the US is,
maybe the above,or other companies might be prepared to invest,r/d,construct a corridor
of east west track,ask communities along the route if they give consent to this,
like is,or ought to be done around airports,AMTRAK has run at a loss ever since its founding.
It runs at a loss,and taxpayers foot the bill
I’m sure they have the manufacturing skill to build em,who pays the bill?
airlines ought to be able to build and man trains with polish.pizzazz,in light of the rate of
airline failure over thirty years,it might make sense to alter their approach,ground vs air.
hi speed hydrofoil seacraft,,,,,300 mph?,hoo yeah
magnet powered suspended rail
