China Hyperloop test

China has successfully completed tests of its Hyperloop T-Flight, a high-speed magnetic levitation transport system capable of reaching speeds up to 1,000 km/h. The trials were conducted in a 2-kilometer low-vacuum tube in Shanxi province, demonstrating controlled navigation and safe stopping, although specific speed data was not disclosed. This system is expected to significantly reduce travel time between major cities, potentially allowing journeys between Beijing and Shanghai to take just 90 minutes. The Hyperloop T-Flight previously set a record in February 2024 by reaching speeds exceeding 623 km/h. The project, developed by China Aerospace Corporation (CASIC) and the Shanxi provincial government, aims to enhance transportation efficiency in the country. Future tests are anticipated to further validate safety and performance before public deployment.
