REVEALED: First completed full-scale hyperloop system constructed of 'vibranium'...

• https://www.dailymail.co, By STACY LIBERATORE

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) has unveiled designs for the first-ever completed full-scale hyperloop that is set to take passengers from Chicago to Cleveland in just 35 minutes.

The commercial system is first being constructed as a prototype in Abu Dhabi that will connect to Dubai and Al Ain.

HTT released a video showing the complete system with a stunning in-line station for travelers to board capsules that will cruise down three miles of track at speeds up to 750 miles per hour.

The pods and system are built with 'vibranium,' which the firm says is the 'safest material on Earth' and is an alien-made element from the Marvel comics - it is mentioned in 'Black Panther' and 'Captain America.'  

If testing in Abu Dhabi proves successful, the firm plans to break ground for the US hyperloop in 2023 and have it running by 2028.

HTT's announcement puts the firm in the running to bring Elon Musk's vision into a reality - Musk first proposed the radical, pod-based transport system in 2013. 

According to HTT, their pods will be able to carry a total of 164,000 passengers every day, departing every 40 seconds for the designated hub. 

HTT is set to roll out the first tracks to connect the Ohio city with Chicago, Illinois, but is also exploring an expansion to include Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and New York City. 

The company was founded in 2013 with a goal of solving transportation problems, including traffic and pollution.

From here they went to work pulling inspiration from Musk's Boring Company and turned the vision into a digital reality.
