Upside Down Train - The First Maglev Rail Car in China - Xingguo Is Coming!

According to China railway industry group chief engineer wang introduction of China and the United States, China is the third after Germany, Japan master empty rail technology, the group has been built a base in wuhan jiangxia owns independent intellectual property rights in the system of nearly 1 km rail test facilities, at present, the vehicle has implemented across the unmanned, safe and smooth operation of more than 7000 kilometers.

It is reported that the air rail covers less land, broad vision, and pedestrians, motor vehicles do not interfere with each other, has an independent right of way, a single trip volume of about half of the subway volume, but the cost is only one-fifth of the subway, can be used to connect tourist attractions, business districts, science and technology parks.

What's so special about the "Xingguo"?

Xingguo County is famous Soviet area model county, Red Army county, general county, martyr county. The number of martyrs who died on the Long March alone reached 12,038, with one Xingguo soldier falling almost every kilometer. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xingguo County had 56 founding generals who were awarded the rank of major general or above, making it a famous "general county" in the country.

That "xingguo" maglev air rail vehicle

What's so special about it?

Yang Bin, party secretary of Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, said that while the existing sky rail trains use electrically driven tires to walk in the rail beam, the xingguo train is a new type of suspended maglev vehicle, whose biggest feature is the application of permanent magnet suspension technology to the sky rail vehicle. It is also the first time in the world that permanent magnet suspension technology is applied to the manufacture of aerial rail vehicles, which have the characteristics of energy saving and environmental protection, non-contact traction, strong hill-climbing ability, small turning radius and low noise.

In the research and development process, Jiangxi University of Science and Technology and China Railway Science and Engineering Group successfully overcome the suspension frame structure, guide structure, linear motor traction drive, foundation braking and other technical problems, and successfully passed the expert review.
