The core fact is that high-speed flying trains will be gradually realized according to the three-step strategy of maximum operating speed of 1000 km/h, 2000 km/h and 4000 km/h. Using superconducting magnetic levitation technology and vacuum pipes, we are committed to achieving supersonic "near-earth flight".

Changjiang News (Changjiang Daily reporter He Liang, correspondent Chen Xinyong, Li Dan, Zhao Ming) In the future, Wuhan will only take 30 minutes to Beijing. On the 29th, the reporter learned from the press conference of the third China International Commercial Aviation Summit Forum that China Aerospace Science and Technology Group has carried out the research and demonstration of the "high-speed flight train" project with a speed of up to 4000 kilometers per hour, and plans to develop a new generation of vehicles by combining supersonic flight technology with rail transit technology through commercialized and market-oriented mode, using superconducting magnetic levitation technology and vacuum pipes, We are committed to achieving supersonic "near-ground flight".

Mao Kai, the technical director of the "high-speed flight train" project of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group, said that the high-speed flight train will be gradually realized according to the three-step strategy of maximum operating speed of 1000 km/h, 2000 km/h and 4000 km/h. The first step is to build a regional inter-city flight train transportation network through the transport capacity of 1000 km/h, and the second step is to build a national super urban agglomeration flight train transportation network through the transport capacity of 2000 km/h, The third step is to build the "the Belt and Road" flight train transportation network through the 4000 km/h transportation capacity, and finally form a new business card of China after aerospace, high-speed rail and nuclear power.

High-speed flying train is a transportation system that uses low vacuum environment and supersonic shape to reduce air resistance, and uses magnetic suspension to reduce friction resistance to realize supersonic operation.

It is understood that the Aerospace Science and Engineering Co., Ltd. has rich practical experience and technical accumulation in system engineering of major projects, has the necessary simulation modeling and large system test capabilities for large projects, and the world-class supersonic aircraft design capabilities, which provide an important basis for the construction of high-speed flight train projects. The implementation of engineering projects focuses on giving full play to the advantages of various aspects to establish a national team, and has combined more than 20 scientific research institutions at home and abroad, The first international high-speed flight train industry alliance in China has been established. At present, the team has more than 200 patents in relevant fields.

It is understood that at present, there are three major companies in the world that have announced to carry out research on transportation systems greater than 1000 km/h, including HTT Company, Hyperloop One Company and China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation. Although American companies started early, China's enterprises have a high starting point. Using aerospace supersonic related technologies, Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation is the first group company in the world to propose supersonic ground transportation systems.

High-speed flying trains not only shorten the space and time distance between cities, but also have many advantages, such as being not affected by weather conditions, not consuming fossil energy, and can be seamlessly connected with urban subways. They are the development trend and technical commanding point in the future transportation field.
