We are almost to the age of maglev trains. Hopefully Japan begins operation this decade.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;amp&#x2F;s&#x2F;www.caranddriver.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;amp30753805&#x2F;bullet-train-375mph-japan&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;amp&#x2F;s&#x2F;www.caranddriver.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;amp30...</a><p>China of course built a maglev almost 20 years ago to the Shanghai airport.
