japan build a train which can fly !!!!!!

[asena_great]

Not faster than a plane, passenger jets fly at a cruise speed of almost 900 km per hour, that's a lot faster than 500 km / hour for that train.

yeah but some airplan move with 500-600km/h so some how this train move fast as airplan

 

[applesauce]

yeah but some airplan move with 500-600km/h so some how this train move fast as airplan

some of the worlds slowest planes fly at like 120-140 km/h

technically my car can hit (slightly) above that speed,

so my car is now "faster than a plane"

as I know 30km of China 1st Maglev in Shanghai ( corrected ) is less practical and built by foreign companies.

So the Japanese maglev in an average distance is something which is remarkable

So ... continue ...

If foreign tech imported, yes. But i don't think China need that built by foreign companies ...

 

[BoQ77]

sorry 1st maglev of Shanghai

Is it safe

Train fans have experienced the speed of super-fast maglev trains, during test runs for members of the public in central Japan.
One hundred passengers whizzed along a 42.8km (27 mile) route between the cities of Uenohara and Fuefuki, reaching speeds of up to 500km/h (311mph), The Asahi Shimbun website reports. The Central Japan Railway Company is running eight days of testing for the experimental maglev Shinkansen train on its test track in Yamanashi Prefecture. In total, 2,400 people will take part in the tests after winning tickets in a raffle. They represent a lucky minority - there had been more than 100 times that number of applications, the report says. "I applied for my nephew who is a big railway fan, but now I am more excited than he is," one passenger, who was travelling with his parents and two young nephews, tells the website.

The maglev trains are even faster than Japan's famous bullet trains, which currently travel at about 320km/h (200mph). They use magnetic levitation, hence the name, to "float" above the train tracks. This minimises the friction encountered by ordinary trains, and allows them to travel faster. Maglev trains are due to be up and running by 2027. The ones being tested in Yamanashi will eventually run from Tokyo to Nagoya, carrying passengers between the two cities in about 40 minutes. Currently the journey takes an hour longer than that by bullet train.

Is it safe

safe or not depends the construction and maintenance quality.
I think it's safe.

 

[unbiasedopinion]

What is the braking distance for the bullet train and for this new tested train from maximum speed to complete halt?

 

[faisal6309]

safe or not depends the construction and maintenance quality.
I think it's safe.

Yeah, otherwise why would they create such thing in first.

 

[BoQ77]

China paid to Siemens and Thyssen Krup over 1.2 bil. to be their testing field. Shanghai maglev.
Sadly, most of time, the Shanghai Maglev run at 300 km/h as maximum for only 30km.
There's no much difference about transit time between lower speed and maglev; or maglev 300km/h and 500km/h for travelling just 30km. While cost is double than Shinkansen-like.

And there's not another kick off on other maglev since then ( 2004 ) in China.

Japan must pay by themselves for their testing field.

Yeah, otherwise why would they create such thing in first.

Good question. Is braking on maglevs mechanical or magnetic like its propulsion?

 

[key-CN]

Not in a hurry, did not need. speed does not matter.

which item you want to talk about? Chinese or Japanese maglev ?

If you are traveling , then there is no need to sit so fast train,You will miss a lot of scenery。
