In its debut, the new bullet train, the colors of green, pink and white, has traveled 714 miles between the cities of Tokyo and Aomori, northern Japan, in just three hours and ten minutes.
The Hayabusa is the bullet train E5 series and since 2013 is expected to reach 320 kilometers per hour, a record for ground transportation in Japan. With this cut 49 minutes to 3 hours and 59 minutes yesterday afternoon to the other bullet trains cover the route between the stations of Tokyo and Shin-Aomori in the far north of the island of Honshu.
This latest model is quieter and more aerodynamic. With a hull of 15 meters, similar to the front of a torpedo, the Hayabusa, the peregrine falcon in Castilian, is the latest Japanese engineering applied to the rail, the result of ten years of research. Has a system that does tilt and maintain the 270 miles per hour in bends, reduce body roll and vibration and reach 300 kilometers per hour in just six minutes. A special coating on each of its ten cars also makes it quieter, as well as the aerodynamics of the hull, designed to dampen noise and out of tunnels, as well as wind gusts of northern Japan.
In its 46 years, from October 1, 1964, the Japanese bullet trains have never had a fatal accident.
