Traveling across the country or the world via any modern mode of
transportation is a time-consuming affair. It can also be really
annoying with the long lines, crying babies, armrest hogs, cramped
space, etc. Would it not be the most awesome invention ever if some new
type of transportation could cut that travel time significantly?
Get ready, because it may only be a few years from becoming a reality. A company called ET3 has plans in the works for the Evacuated Tube Transport,
a high-speed transportation tube that uses magnetic levitation. The ETT
can travel at speeds of up to 4,000 miles per hour, and each tube seats
a maximum of six people and comes with a baggage compartment. How does
it go so fast? It's airless and frictionless and could have you from New
York to Los Angeles in 45 minutes, as opposed to the nearly five hours a
direct flight would take. It could even have you depart from New York
and be in Beijing in two hours.
