Virgin Hyperloop’s Pegasus pod designed by BIG completes first passenger test at speeds of over 1,000 km/h
After 400 tests in the Nevada desert without passengers, now for the first time the Virgin Hyperloop completed the fastest form of land-based travel with human passengers inside. Virgin Hyperloop partnered with BIG and Kilo to design the Pegasus pod that can be blasted through the 500 meter DevLoop test site to achieve hyperloop travel at the speed of over 1,000 km/hour.
The pod contains a forward-facing window for a view down the tunnel. Incremental rings at the front shape a spacy entry to the transport vehicle. Repeating soft forms and pill shaped cut-outs are used to create a sense of depth and speed.
