Virgin Hyperloop has successfully completed the world's first passenger test of hyperloop technology, a new form of high-speed transportation. The test was conducted Sunday in a desert outside of Las Vegas, where the company built a 500-meter vacuum tube as a test track.

When was the hyperloop tested?

On November 8, 2020, the first passengers traveled safely on a hyperloop – making transportation history. This test demonstrated that we can safely put a person in a near-vacuum environment, and our entire safety approach was validated by an independent third party.

Who tested the hyperloop?

Virgin Hyperloop took a step closer to making its high-speed transit technology a reality Sunday with the first official test of the system with humans inside the pod. The company, part of billionaire business titan Richard Branson's Virgin Group, said the test took place on its 500-meter track outside of Las Vegas.
