Hyperloop: Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL

hyperloop
Hyperloop Alpha, detailed plans for what he had previously described as

"the fifth mode of transport". Musk, who is CEO of electric car company
Tesla, had previously described hyperloop as "a cross between a Concorde
and a railgun and an air hockey table"
The speed of conventional trains — and all land based transport — is

limited by friction, both against the air ahead and the ground beneath.
Hyperloop drastically reduces friction in both of these areas.
First, the tunnels through which it operates have most of their air removed.
They are not complete vacuums, but much less air means reduced friction
and less energy is required to reach a higher speed. Secondly, Musk's
design saw the hyperloop pods, each containing a handful of passengers,
held above the ground by a layer of air, similar to how the puck of an air
hockey table floats across its surface.
Musk suggested that the power required to remove air from the tunnels
and propel the pods along would come from solar panels on the roof of the
tunnel. He also claimed that ticket prices for the Los Angeles to San
Francisco route would be as low as $20, and the journey would take just
35 minutes to cover 555 kilometers
Autonomous helicopters
We will be irritated when traffic stucks at one point for hours. To avoid this autonomous aircrafts is
to come into act.
autonomous aircraft are set to play a major role in the future of mass
transportation systems. Aerospace firm Airbus successfully completed a
test flight of its Vahana electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL)
aircraft earlier this year, with the flying taxi spending 53 seconds in the air.
The company hopes to create a fleet of eVTOL aircraft and position them on
rooftops in major cities, enabling commuters to get around densely
populated areas where road traffic is deadlocked. If all goes to plan, a fully
operational aircraft will be ready within two years.
Super trains
Implementing magnetic levitation (maglev) technology into transport
networks across the world may sound like a futuristic idea, yet trains
running on maglev systems have been in operation since 1984. A 2015
Japanese maglev train reached speeds of just over 600km/h, but
researchers at China’s Southwest Jiaotong University are testing an ultra-
fast bullet train prototype, based on maglev technology, that could
potentially reach speeds of up to 1,000km/h.
Super-maglev trains use the same underlying technology as previous

versions, except this next-generation mode of transport utilises a vacuum
tube to reduce air friction and allows for increased speeds. These trains are
not expected to be brought into service in the next few years, as traditional
maglev projects are still under consideration in a number of primarily
American and Asian cities.
A proposed multi-billion-dollar maglev train system from Washington to

New York is close to receiving approval and would cut the travel time
between these two cities to one hour, down from three hours. However,
introducing super-maglev trains to this route could theoretically bring the
journey time down to around 30 minutes.
Elevated cycle paths
Technological advances in transportation cannot be limited to the modes of

transport themselves, but also includes the surfaces they travel on. Creation
of a network of elevated cycle paths towering above city streets would not
only make cycling less dangerous and more convenient, but could reduce
congestion on highways, with the southeast Chinese city of Xiamen
constructing the world’s longest elevated cycling path last year. At 17 feet
above the road, the 7.6km track offers connections to public modes of
transport at 13 points.
Although there are currently only a handful of these ambitious networks

elsewhere in the world, German carmaker BMW wants to change this. The
automaker, in collaboration with Tingyi University in China, recently
unveiled a proposal to build elevated cycle paths for modes of transport,
such as e-bikes and electric scooters in Shanghai.
This futuristic route would be made up of an enclosed, elevated tube,

enabling cyclists to ride all year round in comfort thanks to full climate
control. There are already hundreds of millions of e-bikes in China that
could use these paths and this number is rapidly growing as the country
contends with severe air pollution.
Hi friends iam gonna give u a brief description about advance

ments in modern mode of transportation. In Present generation time plays a crucial role in each n
every ones life.so a continuous research and development in transportation has lead to some
beautiful outputs.
