China is about to build a speed rail line of 1,200km / h

The Hyperloop line with near-super speed is about to be built in southwestern Guizhou province, China.

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies Inc. (HTT) in the US signed an agreement with Dong Nhan Transport, Tourism and Investment Group on a project to build the Hyperloop super-fast train line in Dong Nhan, Quy Chau, China, China Daily on through the news. Dirk Ahlborn, managing director of HTT, said the cooperation plan to prove the Hyperloop transport system would be feasible.

The initial route will include a distance of 10 km from the city to Dai Hung Dong Nhan airport, at an estimated cost of $ 295 million. In the second phase, the project will extend 50 km from the city to the mountain of Pham Tinh Son in Dong Nhan and the investment capital of 1.47 billion USD. Under the agreement, Hyperloop and the Dong Nhan government will contribute half of the capital on each side. Hyperloop will be responsible for technology and equipment while the city government adopts certification and establishes regulations.

Hyperloop is a shuttle that runs along a rail from within a vacuum tube , allowing a supersonic speed (1,200km / h) to be reached thanks to extremely small drag. The body, rail and suspension of the new ship will need less permanent magnets than the model in other laboratories around the world, according to Wang Mengshu, a scholar at the Chinese Academy of Technology.

"There are still many technical issues to be addressed through research and many experiments at different stages, regardless of whether the building is built on or underground , " said Feng Hao, a researcher at the Institute of Transport at National Development and Reform Council, said.
