China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation announced the start of construction of a high-speed train. The principle of operation of railway transport will be based on magnetic levitation.

A streamlined shape and lightweight materials have been chosen for the train body, which should reduce its weight. Such characteristics will allow the device to reach speeds of 600 km / h.

For trains a training track will be built, on which all test tests will be carried out. The test road will be 5 km long. Designers will be able to test magnetic levitation technology in real time on a railroad track. Test brake systems.

CRRC is also working on a train that will be able to develop and not such high speeds. These technologies are designed to be implemented on a global scale. The border speed that the budget option can reach will be 200 km / h.

It is noted that Chinese railways are considered the most extensive in the world. The length of the paved roads is about 20 thousand km.

At the moment, a commercial train runs in the country, which uses magnetic levitation to move. Transport links Shanghai with the country's central airport. The maximum speed reached by the train is 510 km / h.

As for the novelty, commercial operation of the CRRC maglev train may not begin until 2027. Moreover, this will happen if the terms of construction and test drives do not violate the quarantine.

Recently, OXO reported that Airbus has developed hydrogen fuel concept aircraft.
