Introduction: As we approach introduction of quantum engines (QE) into the transportation industry, it will be useful to analyze properties of a hypothetical automobile with a QE (quantomobile). The purpose of the study is to conduct a calculation analysis of the quantomobile force balance and options of its motion in the pitch plane. Methods: Assuming that it is possible for a quantum engine to generate the vertical component of the thrust vector (of antigravity orientation), a two-dimensional approach to analyze the quantomobile force balance is used. A generalized force balance equation for all quantomobile motion modes in the longitudinal pitch plane is derived. Five typical motion modes are identified. The graphic images provided represent a part of the combination of analytical actions intended to record and comprehend the distinctive end points and curves. Results: The numerical examples based on the mentioned force balance equation allowed us to construe the quantomobile motion modes in the pitch plane, as well as obtain a picture of uniform course motion of the quantomobile. Discussion. The analysis revealed that it was possible to minimize the thrust for maintaining constant speed under the middle degree of vehicle suspension. The derived force balance equation that matches the 2D option of quantomobile motion in the pitch plane can be expanded to the 3D option of vehicle motion. This will make it possible to assess the dynamics and energetics of quantomobile motion in a three-dimensional space in more detail, as well as compare such vehicles with other vehicles operating in this space, e.g. planes, helicopters, etc.

The review of performance and energy effectiveness of transportations reveals the lack of the squared delivery speed in their structure. The need to attract the squared speed as the major factor in forming the assessment of the energy intensity of the object motion and the medium resistance is noted. The author's approach to forming assessments of the transport energy intensity based on the use of Bartini's LT-systematization and the entity of Transfer with the measurement unit of Tran is considered. The energy effectiveness factor of cargo movement is represented in the form of the ratio between the inevitable dissipation of the cargo movement energy and costs of the energy supply of transportation, incurred by the automotive transport system.As an example, the calculation of the transportation by KamAZ-5320 automotive vehicle is carried out. The value of the energy effectiveness of transportation with the speed of 60 km/h, calculated with the use of Transfer, amounted to η = 11.6 %. This allowed assessing the technological paradigm of the modern automotive transport as very far from the perfection.

The article provides data on the concept of thrust forces' formation in a quantum engine (QE). Influence of difference in structural diagrams of vehicles with QEs and ICEs on their energy consumption is described. Functional differences in formation and control over thrust and speed characteristics of automobiles and quantomobiles are reviewed. Differences in thrust balances of vehicles mentioned are analyzed. Possible topography of quantomobile regulatory characteristics is considered as well.

Physics advances of recent decades outlined the beginning of the formation of a new technological paradigm based on anti-gravity principles of object movement and propulsive drive. The article provides an engineering (simplified) view on the main conceptual features of the theory of Superunification that help to overcome the forces of gravity and inertia. It also considers schemes and propulsive mechanisms of thrust formation in quantum engines.A concept of a quantomobile is introduced. A strategy of sequential R&D activities to design a quantomobile is developed. Removing wheels for quantomobile movement modes leads to a concept of a flying car.

The need to attract the squared speed as the major factor in forming the assessment of the energy intensity of the object motion and the medium resistance is noted. Author's approach to the calculation of freight rail transport energy efficiency is based on the use of Bartini Criterion L6T-4 and the entity of Transfer with Tran dimensionality. The energy efficiency factor of cargo movement is represented in the form of the ratio between the inevitable dissipation of the cargo movement energy and total costs of the energy supply of transportation, incurred by the railway complex.As an example, the calculation of Bothnia Line railway complex freight transport energy efficiency was performed. Assessment of the railway complex freight transport energy efficiency at a speed of 120 km/h performed with the use of Transfer equals to η = 15.8 %. This allows assessing the technological paradigm of the railway transport as very far from the perfection. KeywordsRail transport, squared speed, Transfer, Tran, energy efficiency, life cycle. IntroductionThe objective of the author's studies (Kotikov, 2001(Kotikov, , 2005a(Kotikov, , 2005b(Kotikov, , 2006a(Kotikov, , 2006b(Kotikov, , 2017 is to develop a new methodological approach to the assessment of energy efficiency of transport and provided transport services considering the squared speed of the transport object delivery. This approach is related to the development of Robert Bartini's ideas on LT-systematization of physics laws on the basis of a pair of coordinate parameters Length (L) -Time (T) (Bartini, 1965(Bartini, , 1974. The core of this approach is to form the ratio between the transferred transport output to the destination point (considering the squared speed of the freight transfer -transfer service S) and the specific embodied energy consumption of the transport complex for this freight transfer. Convergence of dimensionalities of two mentioned ratio variables is provided at the Transfer principle entity level with the dimensionality L6T-4 (Aleinikov, 2007) of Bartini LT-table.The case study that was examined in the work (Kotikov, 2017) with the example of freight delivery by means of a single truck KamAZ-5320 at a speed of 60 km/h has
