Magnetic levitation transport, or maglev, is a form of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles (especially trains) using
electromagnetic force. This method can be faster than
wheeled mass transit systems, potentially reaching velocities comparable to
turboprop and
jet aircraft (900 km/h, 600
mph). The highest recorded speed of a maglev train is 581 km/h (361 mph), achieved in Japan in 2003, which is 4 mph more than the conventional
TGV speed record.
