Abstract

The Hyperloop is a concept for high speed ground transportation, consisting of passenger pods traveling at transonic speeds in a partially evacuated tube. The concept was originally proposed in a white paper published by SpaceX in 2013 as an alternative to the high-speed rail system currently being developed between Los Angeles and San Francisco, which was deemed too expensive and slow. The Hyperloop concept could fill a growing need for an alternative transportation mode for short-haul travel. (Runway taxiing, climb, descent, holding patterns, etc.). The high-frequency throughput of Hyperloop pods could alleviate some of these inefficiencies.
