🚄 China builds the Hyperloop the U.S. only dreamed of
China has officially launched a working prototype of the Hyperloop — the futuristic train once hyped by Elon Musk. The maglev capsule has already hit 1,000 km/h, gliding through a vacuum tube at airplane speeds.
🔧 The first line under construction is Shanghai–Hangzhou — a 200 km route that will take just 9 minutes. Next in line: Beijing–Shanghai in 90 minutes. The project is led by CASIC, a major Chinese aerospace and missile manufacturer.
🇮🇳 Meanwhile, India is testing its own Hyperloop corridor between Delhi and Jaipur, promising to cut travel time from 5 hours to 30 minutes.
🇺🇸 In contrast, the original U.S. Hyperloop project quietly shut down in 2023 — after a decade of media buzz and no working track.
