Students want to show that hyperloop is 'not science fiction'

Capsules that let people float through a tube at 1,000 kilometers per hour on their way to their destination: this may seem futuristic, but TU Delft students are convinced that the so-called hyperloop is the means of transport of the future. "The first time we saw him fly, it was a really special moment," says Barte van der Zijden, 22, who is also on the team. In a report, Delft Hyperloop writes that this means of transport will distinguish itself in the future with "faster travel times, improved comfort and potentially lower ticket prices." "If different hyperloop companies use different techniques on their pods and in the track, pods from one company may not be able to cross another company's orbit."
