Developing technology has a positive impact on the transportation sector, as it does in every other field. The developed vehicles aim to travel long distances in a short time with high speeds. China also wanted to make moves in this regard with hyperloop trains, which use magnetic levitation technology and aim to travel in airless tubes.
Now, there has been an important development in this regard. According to the information from the country, the first test drives of the vehicle were carried out successfully. It was stated that three tests were carried out on a superconducting maglev test line in Datong city, and it was stated that the capsule could reach a speed of 50 km per hour and travel 210 meters each time.
The aim is to make the train the fastest land transportation vehicle in the world by reaching 1000 kilometers per hour.
The purpose of the new generation train, which China has carried out its first tests, is to carry passengers and reach a speed of 1000 kilometers per hour. If everything goes according to plan and this happens, the train will become the fastest land-based transportation technology in the world.
Considering that the high-speed trains in our country can travel at a maximum speed of 200-250 km / h, we can say that this technology can move forward in the field of transportation. For example; this type of train can reduce the duration of a 443 kilometer journey between Istanbul and Ankara to less than half an hour.
However, it is worth mentioning that the tubes used for the current trials are only 2 km long. Let’s add that it is aimed to increase this distance to 60 km in the next few years. So there is a little more time for the project to achieve its goals.
Hyperloop technology has been on the agenda for many years. Elon Musk first came up with this idea in 2012 and founded The Boring Company to bring it to life. In addition, billionaire businessman Richard Branson, founder of the space company Virgin Galactic, founded Hyperloop One to realize the concept of high-speed travel.
