A high-speed aerotrain that could run 400 to 500 kilometers per hour is being developed by China and Japan in a joint effort, Chinese media Chongqing Morning Post reported.

據(jù)《重慶晨報(bào)》報(bào)道，中日兩國(guó)正在合力研發(fā)一種時(shí)速可達(dá)400-500公里的高速氣動(dòng)懸浮列車。

對(duì)外公布的這款高速氣動(dòng)懸浮列車(high-speed aerotrain)模型長(zhǎng)一米多，子彈頭車頭似高鐵列車，車身則有環(huán)形翼(annular wing)和氣流推進(jìn)器(airflow propeller)，又跟飛機(jī)有些相似。

重慶理工大學(xué)領(lǐng)銜參與高速氣動(dòng)懸浮列車研發(fā)的教授賴晨光介紹，這樣的高速氣動(dòng)懸浮列車，完全采用自然能源驅(qū)動(dòng)(fully powered by natural energy)，使用成本低，速度還非?？臁?/p>

If the train runs at a speed of 500 km/h, the energy it consumes is only 1/3 of that consumed by current high-speed trains, and 1/6 of the maglev trains.

如果以時(shí)速500公里為前提，氣動(dòng)懸浮列車的能耗是高鐵的1/3、磁懸浮列車的1/6。

Trial manufacturing and test runs of the first and second generation aerotrain have been conducted in Japan.

高速氣動(dòng)懸浮列車第一代、第二代樣式試制及實(shí)車試驗(yàn)已經(jīng)在日本完成。

根據(jù)規(guī)劃，日本將于2025年開通第一條高速氣動(dòng)懸浮列車線路(the first high-speed aerotrain line)。接下來，中日?qǐng)F(tuán)隊(duì)將基于新設(shè)計(jì)的“LOOP”造型，為其配備阻燃性的鎂合金車身(train body made of magnesium alloy)并開展更加深入的試驗(yàn)研究與驗(yàn)證。
