China attracts attention with an experimental T-Flight Maglev train by making a big leap in high-speed transportation. The train, which is designed to reach record -breaking speeds, can create a great revolution to rapidly cover distances in China’s wide geography.
The Chinese Aeronautics and Space Science and Industry Company (CASIC) is working to develop a high -speed magnetic levitation system that combines vacuum tube technology with electromagnetic drive. This technology resembles Elon Musk’s idea of a train that moves within the vacuum tube that is trying to be developed by the Hyperloop company.
Unlike traditional rails, China plans to eliminate friction by swimming on the rails by using magnet trains on the rails. This progress can provide an ultra -fluid ride in unprecedented speeds. In the latest tests, China successfully tested the levitation train on a 2 km long test track at the beginning of 2024, reaching a speed of 387 miles. This means leaving Japan’s previous record with a speed of 374 miles.
3,000 km of road trail per hour
In the next stage, the train is expected to reach a speed of 621 miles on a 37 -mile -long test track. Among the future plans are to increase speeds further and researchers eventually hopes to exceed the speed of 2,400 miles using Maglev technology. However, it is not easy for people to travel on a train that moves at such high speeds. If you are not a trained fighter pilot, it can be difficult to survive on this train. Therefore, T-FLight’s planned cruise rate will be 600 miles/hour and the Beijing-Shanghai journey can only reduce its journey to 90 minutes.
In addition, this technology may have significant consequences in world geopolitics. Many wars and conflicts in the world are being done to control trade routes in the seas. If super -speed trains, which can travel thousands of kilometers per hour, come into play, unmanned trains carrying commercial loads can reach Europe from one end of Asia, and the wars to control the maritime trade routes can be reshaped for control of the railroads.
