The hyper-speed transport system Hyperloop may appear as early as 2015.
The founder of Space X and TeslaMotors ElonMask has come up with a new transportation system, Hyperloop, which may well become an alternative to ultra-high-speed rail lines. Musk's idea is a branched system of pipelines, from which almost all the air will be pumped out. Special passenger capsules made of aluminum alloy and accommodating 28 passengers will move inside the pipelines on magnetic levitation, reaching a speed of 1,220 km / h. Thus, it will take only 30-35 minutes to get from Moscow to St. Petersburg or, say, from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

Ansys, a developer of simulation software for industrial transportation systems, has confirmed the feasibility of a new bullet train.
The creators of the Jump Start Fund project, in order to implement this idea, founded Hyperloop Transport Technologies, which will not only design the system, but also attract investments from venture capitalists.
The head of Hyperloop Transport Technologies, Dirk Alborn, has not yet announced how much money will be required to translate this fantastic idea into reality. The start of construction is scheduled for June next year, when the final documentation for the development of Hyperloop will be presented.
