Chinese Scientists Set World Record with 700 km/h Superconducting Maglev Train Test
Chinese scientists at the National University of Defense Technology set a new world record for superconducting maglev trains by achieving a speed of 700 km/h during a test on December 25. This milestone surpassed the previous record of 648 km/h and demonstrates the potential of maglev technology for rapid passenger transport and future applications in rocket launches. The train, weighing nearly one ton, was tested on a 400-meter specialized track.

Chinese scientists at the National University of Defense Technology achieved a new global speed record with a superconducting maglev train, reaching 700 km/h in just two seconds during a test on December 25. The train, weighing nearly one ton, was tested on a 400-meter specialized track.
This experiment surpassed the previous record of 648 km/h set earlier in January on the same track. The maglev technology eliminates friction by using magnetic forces to lift and propel the train above the rail. This development, which has been in progress for over 10 years, could facilitate rapid passenger transport between major cities and has potential applications in rocket launches.
