It represents the future of transport: ground-based travel at up to 800 miles per hour. From a station near your loft or condo, it will zoom you to San Francisco in 30 minutes. It is the Hyperloop, and it’s taking shape in Downtown Los Angeles.
The PhillyVoice reported back in August 2013 that Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk teamed up with SpaceX to publish a 57-page white paper detailing the design and technical features of a transportation system that would move at near supersonic speeds, improving safety and slashing costs. Wired Magazine reported this week that the project is getting more serious.
As a fully enclosed tube with a near vacuum state, the solar powered Hyperloop will be immune to stormy weather and bird strikes.
With plans donated by Tesla founder Elan Musk, several companies are teaming up with engineers from NASA, Boeing and SpaceX to turn the Hyperloop pipe dream transportation model in to a reality. Downtown Los Angeles is the epicenter of the design phase, and is envisioned to be a hub of the future supersonic tube network.
Located adjacent to the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles, Hyperloop Technologies is already leading the way as the headquarters of the engineering, development and fabrication center. Several established technology companies and investment firms are now joining the effort.
This enormous undertaking will give DTLA an even greater boost in its transition from transport desolation of the 80’s to the future world hub of travel technology. The world will flock to Downtown in a dramatic fashion for convenient access to this powerful new transportation system.
The Arts District #DTLA has already transitioned from a cheap, partially-abandoned center of blight to a world-famous destination of art, creativity, urban recreation and loft-centered dining.
