From munich to madrid in 14 minutes, is that even possible? http://at.galileo.tv/life/neuer-hyperzug-soll-mit-6-430-kilometern-pro-stunde-von-stadt-zu-stadt-reisen/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_term=social_post&utm_campaign=Galileo&utm_content=20170622_neuer-hyperzug-soll-mit-6-430-kilometern-pro-stunde-von-stadt-zu-stadt-reisen#link_time=1498124065

To make a train go that fast and have no problems with it is fully possible.No real challenge there.

The challenging part will be to get the passengers to their destination healthy.To withstand those speeds you would need to have a G force tollerance of a fighter jet pilot.

Passenger planes never reach anything over 900 kmh,this train will do 1300.

Straighter paths, slow accelerations (deaccelerations) until it reaches top constant speed.

Commercial flights generally take off,fly and land as gentle as possible and still by statistics about 40% of passengers get motion sickness and barf before the flight is over.

Motion sickness has very little to do with G-force since it is a sensory condition. Someone can lay down on the back of the car with eyes shut and still feel nauseated. Nobody would build a passanger train and nobody would want to take a ride on a train where people would get nauseated specifically because of the G-force. Unless you are an astronaut.

Motion sickness will be the constant when the train is going,G-force will come when it makes a turn(even a light one)at 1300kmh,because presumably its not going to be going in a straight line.

Good luck. Tesla will beat you to it.

Motion sickness is present in almost all types of transport. Regarding G-force, the idea is to use straight paths with turns here and there. If it needs to make a turn 20km ahead or whatever speed will be adjusted.

Whatever they do I don't think it will ever be possible to safely and more importantly comfortably move passengers in that type of train.

It would be a very good cargo transport as shown in Fractal's photo but for passengers,probably will not work.
