About the project: Hyperloop 胶囊高铁

The Hyperloop uses a linear electric motor to accelerate and decelerate an electromagnetically levitated pod through a low-pressure tube. The vehicle will glide silently for miles at speeds up to 670 mph (1080 km/h) with no turbulence. The system is designed to be entirely autonomous, quiet, direct-to-destination, and on-demand. Additionally, as Hyperloop is built on columns or tunneled underground, it eliminates the dangers of at-grade crossings and requires much smaller rights of way than high-speed rail or a highway.

超级高铁（Pneumatic Tubes）是一种以“真空钢管运输”为理论核心的交通工具，具有超高速、高安全、低能耗、噪声小、污染小等特点。因其胶囊形外表，被称为胶囊高铁，也称飞行铁路、飞速铁路（简称“飞铁”），其列车称为飞行列车。采用磁悬浮+低真空模式。 2017 年 5 月 12 日美国超级高铁 1 号公司（Hyperloop One）首次在真空环境中对其超级高铁技术进行了全面测试，利用磁悬浮技术，实现了 70 英里（113 公里）的时速 。7 月测试达到 310 千米时速。
