As a result, it can overcome limitations such as frictional resistance and resistance that limit the speed of current high-speed trains.
In addition to aerodynamic testing device, the institute is also working on superconducting magnet that corresponds to the engine of pod, propeller, and device that stabilizes pod’s ultrahigh speed. It is also planning on empirical studies to develop prototype pod and verify its performance.
