Hyperloop (2013)

Hyperloop was not an independent company but rather a project by Elon Musk with which he wanted to revolutionize mass transportation. The idea is to send closed capsules hurtling through double tubes at a speed of 1,200 kilometers per hour. 600 kilometers can thus be covered in just 35 minutes. 

To advance the project, Musk has launched a design competition in which teams from around the world have participated. Winner in each of the four competitions: TUM Hyperloop, a student group from the Technical University of Munich. In July 2019, the team set the current world record of 482 km/h in the final SpaceX competition.
