Abstract

[For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version)].ABSTRACT The article is devoted to the technical analysis of Hyperloop high-speed land transport project, interest in construction of which has increased significantly recently. The basic technologies are briefly considered, with the help of physical calculations the basic design characteristics are specified. Technical risks are identified, some of which may affect the initial configuration of the project, while others call into question the very possibility of its implementation. The carried out researches allow to give the conclusion about expediency of the further work on creation of high-speed transport system Hyperloop and to formulate a list of priority research tasks which are necessary to be realized for the project becomes successful. Keywords: Hyperloop, vacuum overpass, shuttle, high-speed transport, transport systems of the future, new technologies, technical risks.
