“#China unveils 373 mph ‘levitating’ train, fastest in the world<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

China unveiled a futuristic \u201clevitating\u201d train on Tuesday that has a top speed of 373 miles per hour \u2014 making it the fastest ground vehicle in the world.<\/p>\n

By comparison, Tesla\u2019s Model S Plaid \u2014 which the company bills as the fastest production car in the world \u2014 tops out at just 200 mph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Chinese train uses \u201cmaglev\u201d technology<\/a>, meaning electromagnetic forces allow the train to levitate above the track with no contact between body and rail. The lack of friction lets the train reach blistering speeds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

China has tested maglev technology on a limited scale for two decades, but has not yet constructed long-distance lines that would work with the new train, which state media<\/a> said is a prototype that will be used for research.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At 373 mph, it would take just 2\u00bd hours to travel<\/a> from Beijing to Shanghai \u2014\u00a0a journey of more than 620 miles that currently takes three hours by plane.\u00a0<\/p>\n

By comparison, America\u2019s fastest train \u2014 the Acela Express from New York City to Washington, DC \u2014 tops out at just 135 mph. At maglev speeds, that journey would take less than an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The US has considered<\/a> maglev lines in the Northeast Corridor, as well as between<\/a> Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, but no project has made significant progress.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other countries including Japan and Germany are also looking to build maglev networks, but high costs and incompatibility with current track infrastructure remain hurdles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elon Musk has pushed the idea of a \u201chyperloop\u201d that shoots passengers in a pod through an airless tube at up to 600 mph. Billionaire investor and Musk pal Richard Branson tested the concept in a 100-mph trial run with two passengers in December, promising that he would one day shuttle passengers from New York City to Washington, DC, in 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

However, Branson says his hyperloop will only be able to fit 28 passengers, compared to the many hundreds who can ride on a train. <\/p>\n
