Hyperloop T-Flight in China: New System Testing

China Aerospace Corporation (CASIC) in collaboration with Shanxi has completed demonstration tests of the Hyperloop T-Flight, a high-speed magnetic levitation transportation system, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

This system is capable of reaching speeds up to 1000 km/h.

The tests were conducted in a 2-kilometer low-vacuum tube built by CASIC in Shanxi Province, northern China.

The results showed that the train successfully performed controlled navigation and safe stopping.

All systems functioned correctly, and the trajectory of the maglev train was close to theoretical. However, specific data on the achieved speed were not provided.

With the completion of these tests, Hyperloop T-Flight may be ready for passenger transport between Beijing and Shanghai.

This innovation could reduce travel time between these major cities to 90 minutes.

Earlier, in February 2024, Hyperloop T-Flight set a record in China when CASIC first tested the train on magnetic suspension.

During the tests, a speed of over 623 km/h (387 mph) was achieved. According to CASIC, the train could potentially reach speeds up to 1000 km/h (621 mph) in the future.
