HYPED research will pave the way for Hyperloop innovation; technology and infrastructure not required before. The dedicated Research Team aims to strengthen a proposal for UK Hyperloop and explore the solutions that could be applied in other countries. The team also collaborates intimately with industry to ensure the scope of research is appropriate to the needs of industry.
HYPED are winners of the Virgin Hyperloop One Global Challenge, having proposed a route connecting Edinburgh to London in 50 minutes. Our proposal discussed the feasibility of Hyperloop in the UK, highlighting the social, economic and environmental impacts. Out of 2600 entries, HYPED is one of ten winners across the globe and the only student team to have won the Global Challenge.
