The full-size test line (phase one) project of the ultra-high-speed low vacuum tube magnetic levitation transportation system (known as the high-speed flying train), jointly developed by North China's Shanxi province and China Aerospace Science and Industry Co, recently underwent system integration demonstration tests in a low vacuum environment, and passed on-site testing and inspection by the Shanxi Provincial Department of Science and Technology.

The experiment established a low vacuum environment within a 2-kilometer pipeline and utilized superconducting navigators for testing. Results indicated that the high-speed flying train successfully navigated along the designated control curve, maintained stable levitation, and safely stopped. The maximum navigation speed and levitation height aligned with preset values, all systems operated normally, and the measured trajectory matched the theoretical curve, indicating the success of the trial.

Officials involved in the project said that this trial achieved the full-size superconducting levitation navigation of the entire system, process and elements in a low vacuum environment. It validated key technologies such as establishing and maintaining long-distance large-scale vacuum environments and superconducting navigation control, as well as the coordination of various systems and their performance in a low vacuum environment. The experiment further enhanced the system's overall technological maturity, laying a solid technical foundation for future pilotscale experiments for the high-speed flying train.
