I assume it’s very similar to the new launch system on the US aircraft carriers. Now we just need a roller coaster to be made so we can all get whiplash.

I mean, its technically impressive, but it’s missing yknow, the train part. It wont be that fast once there’s a few hundred tons on it.

Maglev or railgun?

That’s an empty low drag shell, once the cabin and everything else is mounted on the final it will probably have a much slower acceleration and will probably only reach a 2/3’s of the speed. Thats a test vehicle that’s probably set up to test stresses.

Now put it on an air craft carrier and launch some stuff.

Ok now if they were to build an enclosed hall over all the high-speed train tracks, that would be neat.
Also a decade ago, Japan got the overall maglev speed record (experimental) at 603 km/h (375 mph). That video is like this one though if you speed it up by 1.2x ( source wikipedia )
Also aren’t railguns essential maglev? ( Well Gauss guns according to the good comment below!)

That’s basically a railgun.

Did Rick Moranis order this?
According to this original post the speed was 700km/h which would be 435mph, not 318mph
