Delft Hyperloop

For years now, the transportation industry has consisted of four modes of transportation. Society has settled on cars, trains, boats, and airplanes. In 2013, Elon Musk introduced a new conceptual high-speed transportation system using near-vacuum tubes in which pressurized vehicles travel: the Hyperloop. Due to low air resistance in the tubes, the vehicles can travel with speeds of over 1000 km/h, almost the speed of sound. Delft Hyperloop VIII is a team of 39 students from Delft University of technology, who are on a mission to develop the desire, technology and infrastructure for the future implementation of the Hyperloop system. We at Delft Hyperloop believe that the Hyperloop, a concept that is as fast as an airplane but has a fraction of the ecological footprint, will be the fifth mode of transportation and the future of long-distance traveling. We as a team will build upon seven years of successful experience and multiple great performances in the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Com...
