China has unveiled a maglev train with super high speed on Tuesday. According to Chinese media reports, the Maglev (magnetic levitation) train, which is swaying at a speed of 600 kilometres per hour, is seen floating slightly above the track. This train has been developed by China with indigenous technology. It has been manufactured in the coastal city of Qingdao. This train is seen floating above the track with the help of electromagnetic force. Its body does not have contact with the rail. This train is also being called 'Floating Train'.
China has been using this technology on a limited level for the last two decades in the field of transportation. There is a short line for the Maglev train in Shanghai, which travels from the city to the main airport. However, China does not yet have inter-city or inter-state maglev lines. Research is being done for this line in some cities of China like Shanghai and Chengdu.
The speed of this train is 600 kilometres per hour. Accordingly, it will take two and a half hours to go from Shanghai to Beijing. The distance from Shanghai to Beijing is more than 1000 kilometres. It can be estimated accordingly. If an aeroplane takes 3 hours to go somewhere, then a high-speed train will take 5 and half hours to cover the same distance.
The country's fastest train Maglev started running in China in 2003. It has a maximum speed of 431 kilometres per hour and connects Shanghai Pudong Airport with Longyag Road at the eastern end of Shanghai. Countries like Japan and Germany are also planning to run Maglev trains here. Although it costs a lot to build its network, so many countries have abandoned this idea.
