Do you know about aerotrain(气动悬浮列车)? A high-speed aerotrain can run 400 to 500 km per hour. What a surprising speed it is! And it is being developed by China and Japan together. It’s said that the model of this high-speed aerotrain is more than one metre long. The bullet-nosed(子弹头)car is like a high-speed train, and its body has wings, which are similar to the plan.

The aerotrain doesn’t run on traditional fuel resources(燃料资源)such as coal, gas or electricity. The train will be fully powered by natural energy. It will not only reduce costs but also improve the speed. The high-speed aerotrain is expected to change the world’s transportation situation, according to experts. People are looking forward to the type of high-speed aerotrain.

Lai Chenguang is a very famous expert. He comes from Chongqing University of Technology. He is good at this kind of technology in China. At the same time, he also takes part in the projects. He introduced that the first and second generation(一代)high-speed aerotrains have been tested. He believed that they could pass a series of strict tests smoothly.

“If the train runs at a speed of 500 km/h, it will use very little energy. The energy it consumes is only 1/3 of that of normal high-speed trains. It means that it will save more energy than normal high-speed trains,” Lai said. In addition, the passengers that the train carries will also be increased because of the new design.
