Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (Hyperloop TT), which develops the Hyperloop high-speed train system, has unveiled a full-size passenger capsule, reports Bloomberg . The capsule, called Quintero One, was built at Airtificial's manufacturing facilities and is on display in the Spanish city of El Puerto de Santa Maria. Now she is preparing to be sent to the Hyperloop TT research center in Toulouse for testing.
Details
- The capsule is 32 meters long and weighs 5 tons. It can carry up to 40 passengers at a time, and up to 164,000 passengers per day on one line. Vibranium composite material, developed in 2016, was used in its production.

- by 2019 The capsule will be sent to France, where they plan to build one of the first 600-meter test tracks . By the same time, the capsule will be completely ready, the company said. After that, testing is expected to begin on a longer track.
- The ultra-high-speed system consists of many kilometers of pipes through which passenger capsules move in a vacuum at a speed of 480 to 1220 km/h. The developers have been working on the project since 2013, but there has not yet been a full-size prototype of the capsule.
