For the development of superconducting levitated trains in Japan, high speed, low public nuisance, and easy maintenance are required in addition to the advantages of the conventional railway. Basic experiments by rotational test device and running test on the 220 m and 480 m length test track have been conducted. Now, a 7 km test track is to be built to check the feasibility of superconducting levitation and linear synchronous motor propulsion up to 50 km h(power -1). Tests on this track are scheduled to commence in the spring of 1977.
