There’s the Virgin Hyperloop pod system, and then the TransPod FluxJet. Think of the latter as a hybrid between an aircraft and a train that utilizes contactless power transmission as well as a new field of physics called veillance flux. In other words, it travels in a protected guideway at over 621mph.
During the unveiling event, a scaled-down FluxJet was used in a live demonstration showcasing its flight capabilities. It attempted a take-off, travel, and landing procedure within its guideway. This project is expected to create 140,000 jobs and add $19.2B to the region’s GDP throughout construction. Once complete, it will cost passengers approximately 44% less than a plane ticket to travel the corridor, while reducing CO2 emissions by 636,000 tons per year.

All the hard work over the past few years has led to this milestone moment where talk is becoming a reality. The technology is proven, and we have the confidence of investors, governments, and partners to continue pushing forward to redefine transportation effectively,” said Sebastien Gendron, co-founder and CEO, TransPod.
