Imagine transport that is fast, sustainable and doesn’t get stuck in traffic. This is the Aeromóvel, a 100% Brazilian invention that promises to revolutionize urban mobility. But, unfortunately, it seems that only Brazil has not yet realized its potential. Let’s understand more about this transport marvel of the future.
It all started with Oskar Coester, an engineer from Rio Grande do Sul who, inspired by a comment from Varig's president, Rubem Berta, had the idea of creating a means of transport that would solve the problem of getting to the airport faster. Instead of increasing the speed of planes, how about improving transport in cities? And so the Aeromóvel was born, an air-powered, automatic and sustainable system.
The Aeromobile is like a sailboat in reverse: instead of being pulled by the wind, it is pushed by compressed air. It runs on elevated roads, avoiding congestion and pollution. This brilliant idea attracted worldwide attention and today there are Airmobile projects in 16 countries, including China and Indonesia. But in Brazil, it is still little used.
How does Aeromóvel work?
Aeromóvel works in a simple and efficient way. It is powered by compressed air, which eliminates the need for onboard engines and fuels. That system is light, economical and environmentally friendly. Air pressure is generated by industrial fans or compressors, which push the vehicle along elevated tracks.

In Porto Alegre, there is a line that connects Salgado Filho Airport to the metropolitan train. This line was opened in 2013 and has the capacity to transport 10 thousand passengers per day. In Indonesia, the Aeromóvel connects tourist areas in Jakarta and transports hundreds of passengers daily.
The future of transportation is up in the air
Despite all the advantages, Aeromóvel still faces resistance and lack of investment in Brazil. Building elevated roads and adapting cities are challenges, but the benefits outweigh the obstacles. The Aeromóvel not only reduces travel time, but also contributes to sustainability, avoiding air pollution and street congestion.
The future of urban transport lies on Aeromóvel's elevated tracks. With increasing urbanization and the need for sustainable solutions, it is time for Brazil to invest in technologies that can transform our cities. Aeromóvel is one of these solutions, an example of Brazilian innovation that can make a difference around the world.
The Aeromóvel is a brilliant idea that has not yet received due attention in Brazil. While other countries embrace this technology, it is time we look to our own inventions and recognize its value. The transportation of the future is already here, and it's powered by air. Let's support and invest in Aeromóvel to build a more sustainable and efficient future for all of us.
