Japan’s next flagship high-speed rail project is the Chuo Shinkansen, a magnetic levitation (Maglev) train built to reach speeds of 505 km/h (314 mph). At full operation, it will cut travel time between Tokyo and Nagoya to just 40 minutes. The line uses Superconducting Maglev (SCMaglev) technology, which allows the train to float above the track, eliminating friction and enabling ultra-high speeds with smooth, stable travel. Once fully extended, the Chuo Shinkansen will link Tokyo and Osaka in o

China unveiled 600 km/h Superconducting Maglev Train—bridging the gap between high-speed rail & airplanes! Beijing ⇌ Shanghai in just 2.5 hours. Inside? Pure sci-fi vibes! Fun fact: Shanghai Maglev Train is the world’s only commercial high-speed maglev line in service. Video from铁路小哥 & 亚亚亚亚当 | ShenzhenStory

2 seconds, 700km/h: #China's superconducting maglev 'flies' on land A Chinese maglev team successfully accelerated a tonne-level test train to 700 km/h within two seconds in a recent experiment. This speed has set a new global record for the fastest superconducting electric maglev test speed of its kind.#ChineseModernization | CGTN Global Business
