That concern is accounted for repeatedly in the debunking videos. It is not valid. Too much air pressure and the hyperloop is pointless. Too little air press

That concern is accounted for repeatedly in the debunking videos. It is not valid. Too much air pressure and the hyperloop is pointless. Too little air pressure and the hyperloop is impossible.
If your goal is low pressure, low cost, and high speed then build an airplane. No tracks required, no vacuum pumps required, no permitting required.
- adanto6840 10y agoPretty sure that building an aircraft requires a LOT of 'permitting' -- for instance, airworthiness certifications. And that's not just on the aircraft as a whole, but each individual aspect as well as the aircraft design itself.
- deelowe 10y agoNo new permitting. The existing permitting process is well defined and understood.
- icebraining 10y agoLow pressure is only reached for a portion of the flight. In a relatively short trip like LA-SF, as Hyperloop was proposed to do, the plane spends quite a bit of its flight time climbing and descending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J01iDyHq2p0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J01iDyHq2p0
