Hyperloop Concept Passenger Capsule (28-seater) Exterior Design

It is a capsule-type passenger vehicle that travels at speeds of approximately 1,000 km/h inside a transparent tube installed on the ground (in a low-pressure state of about 100 Pa). Based on the Hyperloop concept, it maintains a near-vacuum inside the tube to eliminate air resistance and operates non-contactfully using linear synchronous motor propulsion and magnetic levitation. The design focus of this stage is not the tube itself, but rather the exterior shape and key dimensions of the capsule (pod) body running inside it. The scale has been confirmed as a medium-sized capsule with a capacity of 28 passengers. It is a single, complete car type with an overall length of 30,000 mm and a maximum outer diameter of 2,800 mm, equipped with both a nose and a tail to operate at high frequency in small units without connecting train sets. The passenger compartment is configured with seven rows in a 2+2 arrangement, and users are general passengers intending to travel between urban areas of 300 to 600 km within 30 minutes. Boarding takes place through airtight gates within the station. The design language is a smooth metal surface with minimized seams.

Why these numbers
- 4500mmtube_inner_diameter
Tube Interface: A circular cross-section transparent tube where the inner diameter and the width of the guideway (floating rail or lower track) constrain the capsule's lower geometry. The actual tube specifications are to be determined; an inner diameter of 4,500mm is assumed to satisfy an area ratio of 0.4 or less.
- 5000mmtail_length
The nose section shall be composed of a rotational surface with an aspect ratio (length/diameter) of 2.0 or greater to mitigate pressure wave formation within the tube.
- 1900mmcabin_inner_height
The cabin corridor effective height shall be at least 1,900mm to accommodate adult walking.
- 7열seat_rows
The cabin shall accommodate 28 seats in a 2+2 arrangement across 7 rows, with a center aisle effective width of 500mm or greater.
- 4석seats_per_row
The cabin shall accommodate 28 seats in a 2+2 arrangement across 7 rows, with a center aisle effective width of 500mm or greater.
- 1500mmseat_pitch
Seat dimension standard: Applying regional turboprop-class seat width of 450mm and seat pitch of 1,500mm, a 2+2 arrangement and 500mm center aisle are achievable within an internal width of 2,400mm.
