Launched the world's first super speed train to run faster than aircraft
The image of the first high-speed passenger vehicle reaching a speed of more than 1,100km / hour was announced on October 2 in the city of Cadiz in southwestern Spain.
According to Hyperloop Technology Transport Company (HTT), Hyperloop is designed to transport passengers at super-fast speeds through magnetic induction pipes.

'Today, we introduce a new type of transportation made from high quality industrial composites. This will make the Hyperloop machine the safest means of transport in the world, 'said Rafael Contreras, co-founder and president of HTT.
HTT Executive Director Dirk Ahlborn expressed his hope that a full Hyperloop system would be completed and put into operation in the next three years."For three years, you and I, we can go on a Hyperloop," Dirk Ahlborn answered CNBC.
Ahlborn said this type of vehicle would be part of the 'most efficient transport system ever built'.

Called "Quintro One" , HTT's Hyperloop is made of two-layer smart composite material, which enhances resilience and weighs only 5 tons. With a length of 32 meters, Quintro One will be part of a train capable of traveling across the country in record time.
This vehicle can help shorten the journey from Los Angeles to Las Vegas from 1 hour and 10 minutes to only 20 minutes. A Quintro One compartment is capable of accommodating between 28 and 40 passengers.
"In 2019, this type of vehicle will be fully optimized and ready to take passengers," confirmed Bibop Gresta, president and co-founder of HTT.
Hyperloop is a high-speed transport system that has an active mechanism for electromagnetic induction. Inside the low-pressure pipeline, the launch vehicle can achieve speeds of more than 1,100 km / h thanks to the air cushion created by the compressor to reduce friction. Tesla Group CEO Elon Musk said he came up with the idea in 2013.
