Might just as well go on a 747 or A380 and get there just as quick in better comfort. But aircrafts are also tubes made of aluminium:) |

Doh, yes we know that Janne. The point is that passengers don't travel up and down the aircraft, they travel WITH it. Do try to keep up at the back there. I have never seen passengers travel up and down an aircraft. Whats matter is how a passenger percive speed. If it's in a tube or an aircraft doesn't matter. |

Not a new idea, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Palace_pneumatic_railway and some other methods using vacuum to propel carriages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_railway Includes the infamous attempt by that brilliant engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel down in South Devon. |

Hyperloop That was a very interesting article, Chris. Thanks for posting it. The first thing that comes to mind when I think about pneumatic technology is the scene in "Brazil", when the intra-office tubes get stuck. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |
