Source: https://traveltomorrow.com/china-succes ... hyperloop/ Accessed: 2023-01-27China has just completed the first tests with its Hyperloop, a new form of ground transport that could potentially see passengers traveling at over 700 mph (1100 km/h) in floating pod which races along inside giant low-pressure tubes, either above or below ground. The tests were completed with a full-size passenger vehicle.
The achievement was reported by the South China Morning Post, which said that China has just completed three tests on a special superconducting magnetic levitation line set up in Datong, in Shanxi province. The tests were carried out on a circuit measuring about two kilometers long, far from the 60 kilometers that those responsible for the project have set as a goal for the next few years.
During the test, the capsule reached speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour and covered a distance of 210 meters. There is still work ahead to achieve the ambitious goal set by those in charge: to reach 1,000 km/h once the complete 60 km test circuit is available. T

The test facilities were built and operated by CASIC, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, a state-owned company based in Beijing. [...]
