The page/article on ****Boeing Vertol**** has an entry that is TOTALLLY INCORRECT. At the bottom of the page on Vertol product lines they have a category of RAIL. Under that category they include an item "Morgantown Personal Rapid Transit". THIS IS NOT TRUE; the MPRT was 100% Boeing Aerospace in Kent WA. While that was done in the 70's I was the Chief Engineer for Boeing on that contract and was on it from the Beginning (1971) thru the end of Phase II in 1978. Further I have checked the UMTA list of contracts, and they do show Boeing Aerospace. Finally the current Boeing Aerospace history does show this in their list. I suspect the Vertol error was made by someone who only recalls that Vertol did try to make several Transit Rail cars, and just thought MPRT was another kind ..... but it is NOT. While I am getting older (!!) I do have a rather complete file on MPRT that can be referenced including a published Technical Paper. I can support the above info as you may need.
