How much will construction cost?
The estimated cost of this tunnel is $19.8 trillion. The Channel Tunnel connecting France and England is 37.8 kilometers long and was completed in six years. But it will take a lot of time and money to build this tunnel connecting New York and London. It can also be environmentally friendly and reduce severe air pollution caused by air travel. There will be no air resistance in the manner of the train concept, as its speed can reach 4,828 kilometers per hour.
Will the train go faster because of the vacuum?
The technology is similar to Superloop trains, which Swiss engineers tested and claim could change the future of travel. Over the years, many other people have tried to develop hyperloop trains, but have failed. The biggest hurdles involve maintaining the vacuum system, capsule propulsion system, scalability, safety, and economic feasibility.
