If you want to replace planes and trucks over 1,000 kilometers you only have a couple passing stations and use the proven 600 km/h Japanese SC maglev.

Re: Maglevs pick up where hovertrains falter

I agree it has to be fast enough to take an overnight container train to make it economically viable and you cannot get that with 1cm clearance.

But if they want to sell it they have to make an overnight container train to reduce the daytime fare and get half the trucks off the road.

Well if they developed a container train that reduced daytime fares below planes they could not only sell it to democries but it could easily remove the muck.

Well for a start the Japanese SC maglev has proven 600 km/h for ten years but it is parked while they extend the tunnel and 1,030 km/h is just BS.

I think they are worried about nothing as tunnels are safer than viaducts and Japan has the best saftey record in the world in stopping the train and it cannot fall off a viaduct anyway.

While I do think Africa has tremendous future potential, unless the SC maglev can take an overnight container train which is faster and cheaper in a single tinnel between big cities I cannot see it as being economically viable for just passengers.

You do not have to reinvent the wheel as the Japanese SC maglev will go 600 km/h and in a single 11 psi tunnel go 700 km/h with an overnight container train to make daytime passenger fares cheaper than planes.
