China sets new record in superconducting maglev propulsion

China has set a new world record in superconducting electric maglev propulsion, accelerating a tonne-level test vehicle to 700 km/h in just two seconds. The breakthrough was achieved by a research team from the National University of Defense Technology on a 400-meter maglev test line. The result marks a major advance in ultra-high-speed electromagnetic propulsion and offers new technological possibilities for future maglev transportation and aerospace testing.
