Summary
This allows the train to travel at speeds exceeding 400 kilometers per hour.
However, the system requires specially built guideways with precise engineering, making construction and operation costly.
Key Points
4 points1
Magnetic levitation lifts the train, removing wheel contact.
2
Eliminating rolling friction enables very high speeds.
3
Trains can exceed 400 kilometers per hour.
4
Dedicated guideways are expensive due to precision engineering.
