The test was held in May 2017, however, its results were reported in July.

The first section of the pipe for Hyperloop was built in Nevada in March. Its length is 500 meters, and the diameter is 3.3 meters. The first test was held a year earlier, then an accelerated system was tested.

Hyperloop will be a system of pipes built above the ground with reduced pressure, where linear engines will be located. Shattles with passengers and cargo will move through the pipes. It is planned that shuttles will be able to reach a speed of up to 750 miles per hour (1200 kilometers per hour).
