Concept art of hyperloop inner workings. Hyperloop is a proposed high-speed transportation system for both passengers and freight. [1] The concept behind the Hyperloop originated in the late 17th century with the invention of the world's first artificial vacuum, which led to designs for underground rapid transit systems powered by pneumatics in the decades that followed.
A contract was let in 1972 to begin grading the route for the Railroad Test Track (RTT), a planned 14 mi (23 km) high-speed loop operating conventional rail vehicles up to 160 mph (260 km/h); within the high-speed loop, a Dynamics Track sub-loop 9.9 mi (15.9 km) long would investigate passenger and freight train dynamics at slower speeds.
It demonstrated a form of propulsion technology on May 11, 2016, at its test site in North Las Vegas. [6] It completed a 500 m (1,600 ft) Development Loop (DevLoop) [7] and on May 12, 2017, held its first full-scale test. The test combined Hyperloop components including vacuum, propulsion, levitation, sled, control systems, tube, and structures ...

Construction for Indian Railways' first test track is underway in Jodhpur division, Rajasthan. The 60 km track is being built to conduct tests for Semi-high-speed rail and high-speed rail (200-220 km/h) and to test the axle loads of up to 32.5 tonnes. [1]
SFTP US06 is a high speed/quick acceleration loop that lasts 10 minutes, covers 8 miles (13 km), averages 48 mph (77 km/h) and reaches a top speed of 80 mph (130 km/h). Four stops are included, and brisk acceleration maximizes at a rate of 8.46 mph (13.62 km/h) per second. The engine begins warm and air conditioning is not used.
Chicago – In 2018, the company won a competition to build a high-speed link from downtown Chicago to O'Hare Airport. [72] [73] [74] As of 2021 the plan had been dropped. [75] Los Angeles – In 2018, TBC proposed to develop a 2.7-mile-long (4.3 km) test tunnel on a north–south alignment parallel to Interstate 405 and adjacent to Sepulveda ...
