Hyperloop overview

in hyperloop •  7 years ago 

Along a roughly 160-km (100-mile) track, this system should be able to reach speeds of 1,200 km/h, but the engineers told Wired last year that the train could get even faster, potentially reaching up to 6,500 km/h (4,000 mph)

The train can go as fast as it wants, kinda. It just cannot accelerate as fast as it wants. Since there is an upper limit to the acceleration, the limit on the speed is the length of the track and also if there are corners then it will either have to be very very gradual (if going fast) or slow down
