China this month launched its Red Rail, which is the world's first suspended maglev line, according to a South China Morning Post article. The maglev "sky train" can stay afloat using permanent ...

A new Sky Train test track in Southern China has debuted the world's first maglev transit system built using permanent magnets instead of electromagnets. It's capable of keeping its underslung ...

China's new 'sky train' LEVITATES on a magnetic track 33 feet in the air and can glide along silently at speeds of up to 50mph without electricity ...

China’s ambitions don’t stop there. The second phase of testing aims to achieve the train’s full potential speed of 621 mph (1,000 km/h) on a 37-mile (60 km) track.

By using magnets to float above the track, trains can go faster because there is no friction, and it is also a smoother ride. Elon Musk's The Boring Company once had plans for a similar kind of ...

A FLOATING train that is faster than a plane has begun construction, marking a huge step forward for the 621mph lighting locomotive. China Railway will use magnetic levitation (maglev) technology t… ...

Testing took place on track roughly 1.2 miles (2 kilometres) long in a low-pressure vacuum tube, which was flattered within a 0.01-inch (0.3 millimetres) tolerance to ensure no friction could ...

So far, the CASIC China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation has built a 1.24-mile test line in Datong, Shanxi province, where the train hit a record speed of 387 mph. CASIC is happy with ...

China's latest mode of public transportation is a bus, tram and train rolled into one. Its maker, Chinese rail transit firm CRRC, is calling it a "smart bus," but it's a lot more than that.Like a ...

To test the new train, CASIC built a track roughly 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) long in a low-pressure vacuum tube. To reach such high speeds, the trains must encounter almost no friction.
