China's full-scale maglev prototype reaching 621 mph (1,000 km/h)

China has just shattered speed records with a full-scale maglev prototype reaching 621 mph (1,000 km/h) — all inside a vacuum tube built for near-zero resistance.

Using high-temperature superconductors, the train levitates without touching the track, moving silently and cleanly with no fossil fuels. The result? A Beijing–Shanghai trip in just 1.5 hours, beating planes on speed and emissions. More importantly, China just proved long-distance vacuum tube travel is viable—a huge leap toward commercial reality.

This isn’t just the world’s fastest train. It’s a blueprint for the future of travel.
