Japan tested the world's fastest 'bullet-shaped' ship, up to 400km / h

Japan has just launched the world's fastest high-speed train so far with maximum speeds of up to 400km / h.

According to CNN news agency, this ALFA-X version of the Shinkansen will start running for 3 years from May 10. It is expected that when officially put into operation in 2030, it will run at a speed of 360km / h and is the fastest speed ship in the world today.

At this rate, ALFA-X is 10km / h faster than China's Fuxing ship, although both are capable of achieving the same maximum speed of 400km / h.

Currently, it will be tested with the 280km route connecting the cities of Sendai and Aomori.

This ship consists of 10 cars and is designed in the form of long pointed nose in front. Currently, it will be tested with the 280km route connecting the cities of Sendai and Aomori. Test trips will be made after midnight due to the absence and periodic 2 times / week.

ALFA-X marks the new development milestone of Shinkansen, helping to promote the famous high-speed high-speed service in the world which will become faster in the future.

Earlier, a year ago, a model of a speedboat called the Shinkansen N700S was also tested. This model will be put into operation in 2020 but only at a maximum speed of 300km / h, equivalent to the other N700 series, lower than the new ALFA-X.

However, these ships still have lower speed than the Japanese railroads with a record speed of 603km / h when put into test in 2015.
