China is racing to build a new kind of train that does not just rival jetliners, it threatens to redefine what “high speed” even means on land. Engineers are now testing a magnetic levitation system ...

Magnetic levitation, or maglev, technology has been around since the 1940s, but it's only now coming into focus as a means of high-speed transit. There are several maglev train systems spread ...

While it's not yet operational, China has been testing a magnetic levitation (maglev) train, the CR450 and successfully clocked speeds exceeding 620 miles per hour. For a bit of context, your average ...

HIGH-SPEED trains across China are ready for the country’s annual Spring Festival travel rush, also known as chunyun, which ...

China is racing to redefine long-distance travel with a levitating bullet that aims to outrun the workhorse of global aviation, the Boeing 737. Engineers are now testing a new generation of magnetic ...

A zero to 60 mph time of just under seven seconds is decent, but not too noteworthy. A zero to 100 mph in the same time would be astounding. But zero to 404 mph? Welcome to the future of trains, as ...

China has successfully completed the demonstration test of its innovative ultra-high-speed (UHS) maglev transportation system, achieving a significant milestone. This new maglev train can reach speeds ...

CASC designs, develops, and manufactures everything from spacecraft to missiles, but it’s currently working on a hyperloop. The company has built a section of low-vacuum tube that is roughly 1.2 miles ...

China's biggest missile manufacturer is working on a hyperloop. CASIC claims it's clocked the fastest speed ever for a superconducting maglev vehicle – over 623 km/h (387 mph) – during tests in a ...
