Wander up to see the world, do not rush to the end of the world. Today we will talk about the latest development of China's hyperloop project - high-speed flying train. Now, the high-speed travel vehicles in our daily life are mainly based on airplanes and high-speed rail, and countries around the world are stepping up to develop safer and faster high-speed rail, and China's high-speed rail is at the forefront of the world in terms of construction level and operation speed.
In 2013, "tech maniac" Musk proposed the concept of "hyperloop". He designed a high-speed train that can travel at speeds of more than 1,130 kilometers per hour, but that record is likely to be broken.
Yesterday, The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation announced in Wuhan that it is currently developing an ultra-high-speed flying train with a maximum speed of 4,000 kilometers per hour. Its operating speed is 10 times higher than that of traditional high-speed rail, and 5 times higher than that of existing civil aviation passenger aircraft. The two-way capacity can reach 8 million people per year.
Such a speed is the first in the world, because at present, only 3 companies in the world have proposed the study of vehicles with a speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour, and foreign companies have set the target at 1,000 kilometers, and Chinese companies have increased this goal by 4 times.
According to the design, the speeding flying train is designed as a carriage, can carry 60 people, the shape is streamlined, with the ground mobile transport frame to send it into the running track, the train runs in the low vacuum sealed pipe, 2 cm above the maglev track, after arriving at the station by adjusting the maglev system, so that the train to achieve a soft landing.
China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation is the first enterprise in the world to propose a supersonic ground transportation system. It is reported that the ultra-high-speed flying train is the use of low vacuum environment and supersonic shape to reduce air resistance, through superconducting magnetic levitation technology and vacuum pipes, to achieve supersonic operation of the transportation system, popular understanding, is the use of magnetic levitation to levitate it, so that it can fly close to the ground.
Once the ultra-high-speed flying train is realized, it means that modern transportation methods will undergo epoch-making changes, which will create a one-hour economic circle of super urban agglomerations, and the distance from Beijing to Wuhan can be reached in half an hour. The national day trip is expected to be realized.
At that time, if you take such a high-speed flying train, it will only take 3 minutes from Beijing to Tianjin and 20 minutes from Beijing to Shanghai.
