Passengers would enter the Horizon System through their local SkyStation. After getting on board a SkyLink pod and reaching the Airstrip, passengers are picked up by the SkyShip. As the train gently accelerates to match the speed of the approaching aircraft, it is carefully plucked from the track and lifted up, only to be soon dropped off at another location.The aircraft never touches the ground-its wings sail along the maglev rails as outgoing cars are released and the new ones are picked up. Battery packs on board the train cars (or pods) are charged as it travels along the rails—these battery packs that power the aircraft in flight. The released cars start recharging as soon as they reach the transit rails.
