How Fast Is Hyperloop (Proposed)?

Elon Musk's 2013 Hyperloop concept proposed passenger pods in near-vacuum tubes, capable of 1,200 km/h. Virgin Hyperloop broke the 387 mph pod record in 2020 — but no commercial system has been built, and many engineering hurdles remain unsolved.

A built Hyperloop would do London-Edinburgh in 20 minutes — but no commercial system has been built and major hurdles remain.

• Just below the speed of sound
• London to Edinburgh in 20 minutes — if built
