    A group of expert engineers released the progress of the "Hyperloop Project," a train that is ten times faster than a bullet train, and it can bring passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 3 minutes. The developers said it should be ready for travel use in ten years from now. 

    Hyperloop is a brainchild of the famous innovator Tesla and SpaceX chief executive, Elon Musk. He talked about the concept more than a year ago as a revolutionary "fifth mode" of transport, eclipsing trains, planes, boats and automobiles. 

    Dirk Ahlborn, CEO and co-founder of JumpStartFund, outlined in a 68-page report released on Friday the progress of the Hyperloop project, including its geometry and design. It shows a circular front end for better aerodynamics and capsules where passengers will be seated. The train will also have different rooms for economy and business classes. Its stations will have robots to assist passengers with their luggage.
