The high-speed train broke its own record

China’s state-of-the-art passenger train has broken its own speed record, being dubbed as the fastest train in the world.

China’s maglev train uses magnetism to propel it, the train “levitates” above the tracks, reducing friction, according to a foreign news agency report.

China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) claims that its new magnetically levitated (maglev) train reached 623 km/h (387 mph) during tests in a two-kilometer-long vacuum tube. per hour) has surpassed its previous record.

According to the South China Morning Post, CASIC has made significant progress with its latest test, but the corporation has not disclosed further details of the new speed record, keeping the record-breaking maglev train a secret. How fast did you travel?

The report also said that this was the first time a super-fast hyperloop train achieved stable levitation while traveling in a low-vacuum tube, meaning that China could soon have a train that resembles an airplane. Can travel at speed.

CASIC said the latest test not only set a speed record for the system, but also validated several key technologies and proved that they work well together.

According to the 2021 report, China’s Shanghai Maglev train is the fastest train in the world. Its maximum commercial speed is 460 km per hour, it completes the 30 km journey in just seven and a half minutes.
