The concept of the Hyperloop was popularized in 2013 by Elon Musk, not affiliated with HyperloopTT. [7] [8] The project was to develop a high speed, intercity transporter using a low pressure tube train which would reach a top speed of 800 miles per hour (1,300 km/h) with a yearly capacity of 15 million passengers. [9] [10] [11] HyperloopTT's ...
