What if you could travel on the ground at the speed of... flight?
0:03
We’re outside an aerospace facility in southern Spain
0:05
to get a first look at a hyperloop passenger pod that’s aiming to do just that.

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies’ first full-scale passenger capsule
0:16
measures 105 feet long and weighs five tons.
0:20
It’s a real full-scale capsule. This is the first time that we will show what a hyperloop will look like.
0:26
Hyperloop transport is branded as a faster, cheaper and more energy-efficient way to move people and cargo.
0:32
This capsule is expected to fit between 28 and 40 passengers
0:36
and to reach speeds of up to 760 miles per hour.
0:39
We have the unique opportunity to build a transportation system the way you would do in 2018.
0:45
We can rethink everything. We can question everything. And that’s exactly what we’re doing.
0:50
Hyperloop transport was a dream first envisioned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk in 2013.
0:55
The technology uses magnets to levitate pods and propel them through large tubes at ultra-fast speeds.
1:02
Imagine traveling at close to the speed of sound,
1:05
cutting the travel time between Los Angeles and San Francisco to around 30 minutes.
1:09
That’s a lot faster than a flight, which takes about an hour and a half, or driving, which takes about six hours.
1:14
Hyperloop Transportation Technologies partnered with
1:16
a Spanish manufacturing and engineering company to build the capsule.
1:20
It took a combined 26,000 hours of skilled engineering and assembly.
1:25
We have the engineering capacity, we have the systems, the structures, we have the very high, high, high level.
1:34
So the interior of the capsule isn’t finished yet, they didn’t let any cameras inside.
1:38
Currently it’s a black tunnel, it’s waiting to be designed in the next step.
1:42
The company has said that design will include virtual windows.
1:45
The skin of the capsule is made using a material the company calls Vibranium
1:49
which consists of carbon fiber and embedded sensors.
1:52
From here, the capsule will be move to a research and development facility
1:55
in Toulouse, France for more assembly and testing.
1:58
But Hyperloop Transportation Technologies is just one of several companies in the race for superfast travel.
2:04
Virgin Hyperloop One has already completed successful but limited test-runs of its pods.
2:09
For all of the, well, hype, there are still questions about when and how exactly
2:13
hyperloop routes for passengers will get up and running.
2:16
Just think of the legal and regulatory hurdles.
2:18
It’s going to take a little bit longer to have the final legal framework
2:22
but it’s definitely much sooner than anybody would expect.
2:25
So, you know, three years and until worldwide adoption, maybe five to 10.
2:30
Even in the world of high-speed travel, there’s still some way to go
2:33
before you’ll be able to reach your destination on board a hyperloop.
2:40
Hey everyone, Elizabeth here. Thanks so much for watching.
2:42
Be sure to check out more of our videos over here and leave us any other ideas in the comments section.

Talk to you later.
