Recently, during an electrodynamic suspension experiment on a 400-meter test track, the maglev research team of National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) successfully accelerated a ton-scale test maglev vehicle to 700 km/h within just two seconds and achieved safe braking. This new test speed broke the global record for the same type of platform, making it the world’s fastest superconducting electrodynamic suspension test speed.
The success of this ultra-high-speed superconducting electrodynamic suspension system symbols China is achieving a leading level around the world in ultra-high-speed maglev technology. It provides a new option for the future development of vacuum tube maglev transportation and offers innovative methods for aerospace assisted launch and experimental testing. The subsequent technological iterations and industrial applications are expected to generate new momentum for China’s aerospace and rail transit development.
