Magnetically levitatied (Maglev) vehicles using on-board superconducting magnets have been under development for the past 25 years in Japan. These vehicles can be levitated magnetically as much as 100 mm above the guideway surface, and propelled by synchronuous motors using the superconducting magnets. The target speed in the commercial service of this system is 500 km/h, which will be able to connect Tokyo and Osaka in one hour. The current state of development of Maglev system, especially on the development of the superconducting magnets will be reviewed.
