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… ...

China's ultrafast, levitating train, ... China successfully tested its levitating train on a 1.24-mile track, reaching 387 mph, surpassing Japan’s previous record of 374 mph.

The record run was set on the 1 km long test track with tunnel system of the Donghu laboratory in the Chinese province of Hubei. The fast sprint to 650 km/h was made possible by a powerful linear ...

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 ...

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.
