China's ultra-high speed train full-scale superconducting electric suspension test has been successful, with a future target speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour
According to CASIC, its high-speed flier surpassed previous records using full-scale test line to travel 2km with stable levitation
The result is a ‘significant breakthrough’ for the project, which is aiming for speeds of up to 1,000km per hour
on January 31 that according to the "High Speed Speed Car" public account, on January 29, 2024, the China Academy of Aerospace Science and Industry took the lead in successfully completing the ultra-high speed speed test base in Yanggao County, Datong City, Shanxi Province. Full-scale superconducting electric levitation test of low-vacuum pipeline maglev transportation system (referred to as "high-speed speed train") .
According to reports, this test used a super navigation vehicle to achieve stable levitation on the full-scale test line.
This test verified key technologies such as coupling dynamics analysis and control of the "vehicle-pipe-line" complex system, stable suspension of large-mass supernavigation vehicles, high-power traction transmission, and full-process safety collaborative control, refreshing the domestic full-scale supercar. The highest navigation speed of conductive electric suspension has improved the overall technical maturity of the system and laid a solid technical foundation for subsequent higher-speed tests of high-speed flying cars and the construction of a national three-dimensional transportation network.
She Shanxi Provincial Laboratory of High-speed Speeding Vehicles was unveiled on May 24, 2021. The project was approved in September and construction will officially start in April 2022. The project is located in Yanggao County, Datong City. The line is 2 kilometers long and the starting point is 500 meters west of Yanggao South Station .
The main project of the first phase of the high-speed flying car test line was completed in November 2023. It is the main project of the full-scale ultra-high-speed low-vacuum pipeline maglev transportation system test line with the longest distance and the largest scale under construction in the world.
According to official reports, high-speed flying cars can be used for transportation between mega-city clusters in the future, with speeds reaching 1,000 kilometers per hour . In other words, its speed will be faster than ordinary civil aviation aircraft (IT House Note: General passenger aircraft can reach 800~900 kilometers per hour), and even close to the speed of a bullet when it comes out of the barrel.
