which is the fastest train in the world?

Answer 1

The japanese trains are the fastest, also the French TGV and the German ICE train can reach speeds of 330km/h

Answer 2

Shanghai's flashy new Maglev is the world's fastest train

the sleek train , with a breathtaking whoosh, rockets to 300 kilometers per hour in two minutes flat. Overhead, like a giant scoreboard, an LED blinks out our record-breaking progress till we top 430 kph.

True, the train has no wings, but no wheels or engine, either.
powerful magnets lift the entire train about 10 millimeters above the special track, called a guideway, since it mainly directs the passage of the train.

Other magnets provide propulsion, and braking, and the speeds - up to 500 kph in test runs; a good 60 percent faster than the renowned Bullet Trains - are attained largely due to the reduction of friction.

Answer 3

Fastest Railroad
The highest speed recorded on any national railroad is 515.3 km/h (320.2 mph) by the French SNCF high-speed train, TGV (Train a Grande Vitesse) Atlantique, between Courtalain and Tours, France, on May 18, 1990. The Train a Grande Vitesse, which means high-speed train, first entered commercial use in 1981, between Paris and Lyon in France. At the time it was the world's fastest train, with a top speed of 370 km/h (236 mph), but it has since been superseded by newer generation TGVs.

Answer 4

France is known for many things, but one of its better-kept secrets is that it is a world leader in rail transport technology. (Railfans know this, but most of the general public does not.) The flagship of French rail technology is the TGV or Train ࠇrande Vitesse (“High-Speed Train”), the world’s fastest train. TGVs regularly run at 300 km/h in normal service on some lines. And even this high speed is well below the TGV’s limits: the TGV holds the world’s record for speed on rails of 515.3 km/h, or roughly half the speed of sound.

Answer 5

There's a maglev (magnetic levitation) train in China carrying passengers between Shanghai and its international airport at a top speed of 430kph (267mph). This train floats in the air above a guide track, so there is no friction with the ground.

Of trains which run on conventional rails, the Japanese Shikansen (bullet train) and the French TGV have been slugging it out for years. Not sure which is on top at the moment.

Answer 7

bullet trains are very fast but i'm not sure that they r the fastest coz i heard somewhere that TGV of france is the fastest

Answer 8

The French TGV has been known to achieve 500 kph/320mph in test runs

Answer 9

I think the Japanese bullet train

Answer 10

the bullet train?
