A research team has successfully completed China's first full-size superconducting test run for an ultra-high-speed magnetic levitation (maglev) train. Once completed, it will be capable of running at a whopping 1,000 kilometers per hour under ideal conditions.
The train combines maglev technology with low vacuum technology to achieve ultra-high-speed operation. More experiments will be conducted to reach the maximum speed and to verify the entire system's reliability. Previously, the research team conducted a test at 623km/h under non-vacuum conditions. The train is expected to be used for commuting between mega-city clusters in the future.
