China continues to work on the maglev train project based on Hyperloop technology, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Earlier this week, the first testing of the capsule took place on a new 2 km test track in Datun without atmospheric pressure reduction in the tube.

It is claimed that the test verified the operation of superconducting magnets, traction systems, and the safety of the overall system.

The speed achieved by the capsule is undisclosed, but it is reported to have exceeded regulatory standards.

This project, named T-Flight, is being implemented under the guidance of the aerospace corporation CASIC.

It is envisioned to enable train movement using Hyperloop technology in a low-vacuum environment at speeds of 1000 km/h.

In November 2023, CASIC completed the construction of the first phase of the test track, making it the longest such track in the world.

Previously, the longest Hyperloop test track was a 500-meter stretch in the USA, owned by the now-closed company Hyperloop One.
