China scientists claim 1,200 kph train
Scientists in China have developed a model Maglev train that can allegedly travel as fast as an airplane, Chinese media has reported.
The Global Times reported yesterday that a vacuum magnetic suspension train was able to run from 600 up to 1,200 kilometres per hour at the Traction Power State Key Laboratory at the Southwest Jiaotong University. That's the speed of a plane, according to the university's Traffic School vice dean Shuai Bin.
Shuai said that with the new technology, passengers can travel from Beijing to Guangzhou in less than two hours. The same journey takes three hours by plane.
