Hello everyone,

In this fast running world, reaching somewhere on time or before the time is very crucial. The transportation services like airplanes makes it feasible for us. But an entirely new transportation technology is being developed which is known as HYPERLOOP. The hypothetical speed of hyperloop is saying to be around 1200 km/h, which means as equal as speed of sound (1235 km/h). The hyperloop developed by the company Virgin Hyperloop One at this time has the speed of 172 km/h (with humans). The goal is to achieve the sound speed with hyperloop. The future is clearly brighter and anytime soon we are going to achieve it.

What is Hyperloop Technology?

The fifth mode of transport, HYPERLOOP was first proposed by Elon Musk in 2012. The design was first described by a joint team of Tesla and SpaceX. The hyperloop was made open-sourced to encourage the other companies to take interest in this concept. As a result of this, many companies took the idea and started to develop it further and a brand new transportation mode born.

The hyperloop technology has a hypothetical speed of 760 mph (1200 km/h) as per Hyperloop Genesis Paper conceived. The list of companies is given here which took the idea of Hyperloop and developed it further.

1. Virgin Hyperloop One

2. Hyperloop Transportation Technology

3. TransPod

4. DGWHyperloop

5. Arrivo

6. Hardt Global Mobility

7. Zeleros

8. Hyper Poland

From all this companies, the Virgin Hyperloop One Company took a long leap towards the hyperloop technology. This company had tested the hyperloop technology with two humans.
