Hyperloop Speeds Up

Students at the Technical University of Munich in Germany, just set a new Hyperloop speed record. Hyperloop is a type of travel, where a pod shoots through a sealed tunnel, using magnetic levitation. The team’s pod maintained 288 miles-per-hour! The goal for a full-sized Hyperloop is 745 miles-per-hour, so there’s lots of room for improvement!
