Virgin Hyperloop transports passengers in world first across Nevada desert

Virgin Hyperloop, the high-speed transport company backed by Sir Richard Branson, has carried its first human passengers across the Nevada desert in a world first. Travelling at more than 600mph, three times faster than high speed rail, Hyperloop systems involve transporting passengers in pods through near-vacuum tubes. Instead of running on rails, the pods use magnetic levitation to "float" as if they were pucks on an air hockey table. After more than 400 unmanned tests, Sunday's trial was the first to carry human passengers. Josh Giegel, co-counder and CTO, and Sara Luchian, director of passenger experience boarded the newly-unveiled two-seater XP-2 vehicle on its maiden voyage. They travelled 395 metres, hitting a top speed of 48.07 metres a second, or 107.5mph, in a two-seater pod designed to show that passengers can travel safely. The company says its pods will hold 28 passengers when in production.
