Japanese Maglev Train Flys Almost as Fast as a Jet

This train is supposed to be online within the next 5 years.

The webpage says:

It can reach 581 km/h, but in this video it does (loaded with passengers) 500 km/h, making the French TGV look like a little kitten. This means that it can deliver almost airplane-like performance. Simply amazing!

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
