Exciting news for transportation enthusiasts! It looks like we might soon see flying trains in operation. How cool is that? Start packing your bags for a futuristic travel experience like no other!

Always more inventive and innovative, technological progress will never cease to surprise us year after year. After cars and flying taxis suggested for the 2024 Olympic Games, it is now levitating trains that could soon become a reality. The Italian company IronLev has demonstrated its Maglev prototype (short for Magnetic Levitation), as revealed by the media Futura Sciences. But how does it work?

Wow, have you heard about the revolutionary technology that could change the way we travel? The Maglev, also known as a magnetic levitation train, uses a magnetic field to float above the tracks, unlike traditional trains. Although it's rarely used due to its complexity and cost, this system has proven its capabilities and efficiency in a video demonstration by an Italian company, reaching speeds of up to 70 km/h. And that's not all - thanks to the magnetic levitation process, speed records have been shattered! Watch the YouTube video above to see it in action. Isn't it amazing how technology continues to push boundaries and break limits? In April 2015, a Maglev was able to reach 603 km/h. For comparison, the average speed of a TGV varies between 300 and 320 km/h and has never exceeded 574.8 km/h, a speed reached in 2007. If this system seems particularly innovative, even totally futuristic, it is actually since 1922 that German engineer Hermann Kemper has been working on the theme. Research and testing continued throughout the 20th century, and the first speed record was set by an experimental Japanese Maglev in the 2010s. The use of this technology seems well underway, who knows, maybe in a few years the "flying trains" will become the new TGVs!
