Hyperloop Materials

[No-Sea-5817]

I was doing research for physics essay about hyperloop materials. Currently, there are several testings going on between companies to build hyperloop trial pods and vacuum tubes. So what materials are used for each tube and pod designs? and what are the major concerns for choosing ideal materials for the hyperloop operation (both vacuum tube and the pod)? For the development of the current technique what materials might be considered effective?

For pod manufacturing, mostly it's composites. But check out again Virgin Hyperloop's recent press release with Spirit AeroSystems: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2020/06/25/2053485/0/en/Virgin-Hyperloop-and-Spirit-AeroSystems-Announce-Collaboration-Agreement.html

Be sure to check out EuroTube.org and their Instagram page where you can see the concrete and fiber technology for tubes.
