Really? 600 km/h is the average speed of airplane...So if equipped with a pair of wings it can fly?

 

[ephone]

600+km/hour???

WOW, isn't that too fast for current rail foundation?

600+km/hour???

WOW, isn't that too fast for current rail foundation?

French set the record at the 575 Km/hr, so 600+ is not that far fetched. Although this is just for setting records, and won't be viable commercially.

I didn't see a single article stating 600+ kmph. I think it's most likely 500+ kmph.

New Record - 605km/h：

中国南车CIT500型高铁试验时速达605公里-观察者网

The top-speed of 605km/h was sustained for 10 minutes。

Since the test benchmark was set at 600km/h，operators refrained from further acceleration once the speedometer readings reached 605，with plenty of room left for further speed increases in the future。

Records are to be broken - a hallmark of advancing our technology!
I hope we'll break our own world record next time around!

tallest,fastest,biggest,strongest..
