Hyperloop Test Sled

High-speed prototype test sled for next-gen transportation research.

Transportation EngineeringAerospaceHigh-SpeedPrototype

Engineered a modular, high-strength alloy sled and structural frame for linear test tracks, supporting instrumentation, hydraulics, and safety systems.

Challenge

Built to withstand dynamic loads over 700 km/h equivalent while keeping net mass under 2,000 kg.

Solution

Used AR-grade aluminum alloys, integrated finite element analysis, and precision welded subassemblies with modular fasteners.

Result

Delivered a successful first full-speed test run with all sensors intact and visual inspection showing <1 mm deformation margin.

Top Speed

430 km/h

Mass

1,850 kg

Tests

12 full cycles

Tolerance
