China announced the prototype magnetic padding ship, speed up to 600km / h

China has just announced a bullet ship from bullet speed can achieve a maximum speed of 600km / h.

Last Thursday, a new high-speed magnetic maglev prototype rolled out of the production line located in Qingdao City, East China.

This ship was developed by China Railway Group (China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation - CRRC) , the world's largest supplier of railway transport equipment and is expected to be commercialized by 2021, after the Extensive testing coming.

This project will completely change China's tourist context.

The people involved in this project are optimistic to share with CNN that they will completely change China's tourist context, filling the gap between high-speed rail and air transport.

" Take the example from Beijing to Shanghai, with the plane will take 4.5 hours and 5.5 hours with the speedboat, but it will only be about 3.5 hours with the new high-speed magnetic cushion ," Ding Sansan , Deputy Chief Engineer at CRRC, and also the leader of this ship research and development team, said.

Currently, the speed of an aircraft is about 800-900km / h, meanwhile, for ships moving from Beijing to Shanghai and vice versa, their maximum speed is only 350km / h.

Three years of development

This new high-speed magnetic buffer vessel can reach a maximum speed of up to 600km / h.

The ships padded from taking advantage of magnetic thrust to lift the ship off the ground to reduce friction and help the ship move forward.

After nearly three years of technical research, Ding said, the group has developed a light and durable vessel. This will also be a technical foundation to develop 5 sets of buffer ship prototypes from other.

CRRC Quingdao Sifang, a subsidiary of CRRC, is currently building a test run center with another high-speed buffer test production center and is expected to start operations in the second half of this year.

1. Super speed train technology is up to three times faster than aircraft
2. Japan tested high-speed trains running on magnetic pads
