China’s maglev train has just reached a speed of 620 mi/h

China’s maglev train has just reached a speed of 620 mi/h – faster than most commercial aircraft.

It is the next phase of ultra-high-speed train transport. With magnetic levitation technology and no physical contact with the tracks, the future of transport is not only fast, but also smooth.

The technology was developed originally by Siemens in Germany and stolen in and from China during a test phase.
