Marketization Plot of HTSC Maglev Mass Transportation in China

Abstract

The technology of high-temperature superconductive (HTSC) maglev trains has become mature and ready for a commercial use ten years after its first prototype was made by Jiasu Wang and Suyu Wang. However, an appropriate roadmap in applying it to the market is crucial for its success because superconductivity mystery remains veiled and public safety concern may prevent it from being used.
