| Skytrain |
The Skytrain, the world's first "flying" train, was invented in China.
The Skytrain is the first air-rail vehicle to use permanent magnetic levitation technology, and it was unveiled in Wuhan by a team of engineers from Jiangxi University of Science and Technology and the China Railway Science and Industry Group.
This train is distinguished by its exceptionally low noise level.
The Chinese train is capable of reaching speeds of up to 120 kilometres per hour.
The inventors claim that this train is completely safe, which was proven on the test track over a 7-thousand-kilometer journey.
One fascinating element is that this vehicle can move without a driver, which means that transportation expenses might possibly be reduced.
