True isochest the idea of tilting technology was conceived in Britain in the 70’s. Owing to costs it was scrapped! In transportation we invent some pretty cool things but sooner or later they scrap them owing to costs. British rail then bought Italian trains using similar tilting technology but were cheaper! After a lengthy use of the Harrier jump jet we have passed on the technology to the Americans who built an improved version. Meanwhile our latest loss is to scrap the Sea Harriers in 2010!
@fivejaws There you go. National Self Determination is everything. That is where the UK has gone wrong. Our politicians have sold us out. The Oriental people look after themselves. The UK Government see to it we are governed by outside interests to our detriment:-((( The World's Rent Boy:-(((((((
@ParkNCmale I'm from the UK. Our Railways: BR developed the first APT back in 1975: You have brought this dream alive. We did not because our Government did and still do not understand anything about technology.
Isn't it amazing how long a time can be between posts? :P
But yes it is true. However, with the current costs it brings it is not feasible. From what I understood Germany is interested in dragging the line onto Hamburg too, but all parties involved want the train to be more efficient.
As it is, the SuperConductor (MagLev is apparently a similar Japanese technology - SC is German) is a powerdrain. They are working on a more efficient version though, but I assume it'll be a while.
Hi, sinistrell: Is that really true? That Holland is thinking of building High-Speed Maglev? If so, that will signal to people here in America and elsewhere that it's time to go that way, as Maglev is clearly the wave of the future for high-speed ground transportation: 500-600kmh average, and no moving parts (except doors!!!) ... Conventional High Speed Rail (CHSR) is great, and all nations should invest in it (love this Korean Pendo!), but Maglev is the future ...
You think Korea is nuts for having a high speed train huh? Here in Holland a high speed service will be starting by the end of 2008 and we're one of the smallest countries in the world. However the economical benefits are huge. Better yet, there are talks about a maglev system between 8 or so Dutch major cities, is that nuts too? I think it's quite cool.
I agree, South Korea isn't nuts. The KTX already paid for itself and went out of the red in 2007; great success that is now generating lots of profit from the investment, as well as a public service that puts most of the world to shame. Simply brilliant. Whoever said railways can't make money?
It says pendulum train in Japan and Europe are widely used. In Japan and Europe already existed since 1970.
Korea is always be proud to copy technology developed by Korea.

@ParkNCmale "oriental" just means "of the east" or "people of the east".
It doesn't have any derogatory meaning.
if you think about it, Asian is no better term.
it means of the Asia, or more accurately, Asia Minor, which is anatolia ie turkey.
and most Asians never even been any where near turkey.

I think so, too. Besides, it'll get people away from awkwardly obsolete car-travel.
