According to CCTV’s official WeChat account,Recently, the first phase of the main project of the high-speed Datong (Yanggao) test line, my country's first maglev test line with completely independent intellectual property rights, has been completed. This marks the completion of the main project of the world's longest and largest full-scale ultra-high-speed low-vacuum pipeline maglev transportation system test line.
According to reports, the high-speed speeding car Datong (Yanggao) test line project is my country’s first full-scale test line for ultra-high-speed low-vacuum pipeline maglev transportation system.The project is located in Yanggao County, Datong City. The line is 2 kilometers long and the starting point is 500 meters west of Yanggao South Station.
The full name of the high-speed flying car is the ultra-high-speed low-vacuum tube maglev transportation system. It combines aerospace technology and ground rail transportation technology.Ultra-high-speed "near-Earth flight" is achieved through superconducting magnetic levitation and low-vacuum pipelines, with a design speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour.
If successful, it will be the fastest ground vehicle in the world, becoming the "fastest on earth" car.
It is reported that the fastest high-speed train in operation currently reaches a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. Due to air resistance, increasing the speed will greatly increase rail wear and energy consumption.
But the Datong facility's magnetic levitation technology eliminates the friction that wears down the rails, and its vacuum ducts reduce air resistance.
However, before it can truly "run", it is necessary to conduct "speed testing" on the test line by conducting comprehensive demonstration tests on the entire line and completing full-scale system coupling integration verification to ensure that the high-speed speeding car is safe on the road, travels at high speed, and operates smoothly.
