China is building a train that travels faster than a plane – here’s what we know so far

Summary

Tests for China ’s new “hyperloop” trains which shoot through the air in tube-like constructions are well advanced.

Some reports suggest the train could ultimately break the sound barrier with a speed of 1,243mph .

The T-Flight trains make use of “magnetic levitation” technology which sees magnetic force lifting the carriages above the track, eliminating the need for wheels.

The experience is likely at best to be functional; at worst, slightly claustrophobic.

While fast, travelling at very high speeds cocooned in a pod means there is little chance to take in the passing scenery.

The recent successful test of T-Flight in China has encouraged companies in the US to believe there could be renewed interest in hyperloop technology.
