>>12431913It's a cool concept, but it comes with a lot of issues baked in its design: it requires significantly more material per unit lenght, it requires very VERY tight tolerances and large turn radiuses (both due to the desired speed), the pressurization implies a lot of headaches both in the manufacturing and in the maintenance. I mean, it's not that it can't be solved, as anything can be solved given enough time and money, but it's not necessarily worth to be developed. Moreover, as it's designed to be a public infrastructure, it will have to compete against existing services, and as Concorde showed, the market doesn't really care about traveling fast as much as traveling cheaply, and I doubt Hyperloop can be anywhere near cheap enough.
