China sets world record for superconducting electromagnetic levitation propulsion

On [year, month, day], the maglev team from China's National University of Defense Technology recently succeeded in accelerating a ton-level test vehicle to [kilometers per hour] within two seconds during a maglev test. This test speed has broken the global record for similar platforms, making it the world's fastest superconducting electric maglev test speed.

Since its inception, the team has been deeply committed to maglev technology, having successively supported the successful operation of four maglev lines, including the Beijing Metro Line and the Changsha Maglev Express Line. On [date], the team achieved a maximum test speed of over [number] km/h with a ton-class payload in the ultra-high-speed superconducting electric maglev system test, setting a world record in the field at that time. Less than a year later, on a [number]-meter maglev test line, the team successfully achieved a maximum test speed of [number] km/h with a ton-class payload and safely brought the system to a stop, once again breaking the world record in the field of superconducting electric maglev.

The chief designer of the system stated that during this test, the team achieved substantial breakthroughs in key technologies such as the overall design, ultra-high-speed electromagnetic propulsion, electric suspension, and superconducting magnets. The success of this ultra-high-speed superconducting electric maglev system not only signifies that China has reached an internationally leading level in the field of ultra-high-speed maglev technology, providing new options for the future development of vacuum tube maglev transportation in China, but also offers new methods and means for aerospace-assisted launch and experimental testing. Its subsequent technological iterations and industrial applications will inject new momentum into the development of aerospace and rail transit industries.
