10- to 14-person Hyperloop pods to complement air travel
Mass transit system Virgin Hyperloop One is likely to operate 10- to 14-person pods, acting as an integrated transport system alongside airlines. The Hyperloop concept was originally introduced by US-based entrepreneur Elon Musk and SpaceX’s white paper in Aug 2013. It uses electric propulsion and magnetic levitation to move pods, carrying passengers and cargo, through a low-pressure tube. The pod lifts above the track, enabling it to glide at airline-type speeds of 671mph, quicker than any mass ground transport available today. Virgin Hyperloop One head of marketing and communications Ryan Kelly said: “We not here to talk about how we are looking to get rid of airports or airlines. We feel very strongly we can complement and enhance the airport experience. Our vision is about collaboration." <br/>
