back in winter of 2005 from a training session at the SkyLink control center before it was handed off from Bombardier. I will ask the Dfw ambassadors program what its speeds are now.... I remember that the top speed is on that long stretch of track before the location of Terminal F
The
DFW Airport Website claims that the topspeed is 35mph, but the content is a little old, even though it has been updated at least once since Skylink's opening in 2005.
The
Lea+Elliott company website, who worked with Bombardier in developing Skylink, claims that the topspeed is 37mph.
Maybe if someone could contact the various sources involved to get the actual value? Probably not though. For now I just have it marked as 35-37mph.

After a pretty exhaustive search, the only justification I can find for the 50 mph claim is at
[1], which clearly states that the automated people mover planned for Dulles airport will move at 50 mph. The same document reinforces the 35 mph claim substantiated elsewhere for the Skylink system at DFW. The Dulles people mover has the luxury of generally straight paths to follow, which makes higher speeds more attainable.
Agreed. Both large and high-speed need to be defined. Is large defined by the number of passengers it serves? Length or gauge of track? Height or length or number of cars of a train? Area it serves? Then, where is the boundary for high-speed? Certainly it is higher than 50 km/h!

The introduction contains almost the whole content of the article. That's not what it should do. I think the first to lines are enough. I will change this in a few days.--
