It has been revealed that Hyperloop One completed its first successful test two months ago. After finalizing the construction of the DevLoop, a 500-meter long test track in the Nevada desert, the development team shot a 28-foot long Hyperloop pod into the test track and accelerated it using electromagnetic propulsion and mag-lev technology to 70 miles per hour.
The next goal is achieving speeds of 250 miles per hour, with the limit of the technology being about 750 miles per hour.
“Hyperloop One has accomplished what no one has done before by successfully testing the first full scale Hyperloop system,” said co-founder Shervin Pishevar in a statement. “By achieving full vacuum, we essentially invented our own sky in a tube, as if you’re flying at 200,000 feet in the air.”
