Cars, high-speed rail, urban rail, subway, airplanes and other means of transportation seem to be accustomed to it, there are more avant-garde maglev trains, as well as the future vacuum pipeline ultra-high-speed train concept, etc., based on the economic and practical level of high-speed rail will be more cost-effective than airplanes, but the speed of the plane will be faster, but there are also many drawbacks, the sky is difficult to control unexpected weather, the general airport needs to be far away from the city center, how to achieve faster than the current high-speed rail, more energy-saving than airplanes, more economical, As for the means of transportation that meet the requirements of environmental protection, many people will think of vacuum pipeline trains. Four years ago, tech madman Elon Musk came up with the idea of a hyperloop: to build closed vacuum pipes between cities and erect them on 20-foot-high viaducts. Passengers sit in capsule-like compartments and fire the "capsules" like bullets. Elon Musk even went so far as to say that it could become the fifth largest mode of transportation after cars, ships, trains and planes.
This vision ignited people's infinite vision for the future of mobility. However, it is not Elon Musk's company that has made it a reality, but a Canadian company, TransPod. The all-electric, vacuum-tube high-speed train is said to be able to travel at speeds of up to 1,000 kilometers per hour, faster than airplanes. Moreover, the cost of travel will be lower than that of a plane ticket. First of all, how to ensure that the vacuum pipeline does not leak, it will be difficult to ensure the sealing of such a huge pipeline for a long time, and how to accelerate and decelerate is also a technical problem, because acceleration and deceleration must ensure that it does not harm the human body.
However, I have a more subtle and innovative idea: to set up an orbital airplane vehicle, which is a new technology that combines airplanes and trains, which does not need to have wide wings like airplanes, or even missiles The flying wing is also narrow, because it only needs to fly 2mm off the track slightly, instead of relying on the track friction to promote its progress, and it is not like the maglev train that relies on the input of a strong current to generate magnetic field buoyancy to support its suspension, so that there is no track resistance to it, and its air resistance will be much smaller than that of high-speed rail and maglev trains. This is the use of its end, middle, front end of the double air inlet to turn the air resistance into the driving force forward, its head design like a ship riding the wind and waves, will not be like the current high-speed train head like the upper streamlined arc, nor like the head of the aircraft streamlined, because the high-speed rail locomotive and aircraft need the driver to have a good line of sight to ** its navigation direction and prevent high-speed rail derailment, which does not need this design reason at all, because now information technology does not need a driver** The real scene can be controlled by changing the camera into virtual reality, and there is no need to worry about its derailment accident, because the upper part is equipped with a derailment induction track. Its economy is very strong, can also change the current high-speed rail facilities to rail aircraft facilities, through the city can adopt the mode of hanging rail to run, through a row of single vertical concrete column top beam both ends of the hanging rail as the support of the rail plane shuttling back and forth, and the upper part of the beam can be used as a car roadway, so that the urban land area can be greatly saved, reduce urban traffic congestion, which is more economical and more cost-effective than the subway.
Although the speed of the orbital plane will be slower than the high-altitude parallel flow aircraft, it is much more economical than the aircraft, the safety is also stronger, more environmentally friendly and practical, and its speed will be much more than twice that of the current high-speed railway, without the need to set up an airport, and the carrying personnel will be more than ten times more than the current aircraft.
