# Prototype Hyperloop Capsules Priestmangoode & Hyperloop Transportation Technologies use Vibranium By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-10-03 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperloop-transportation-technologies References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2018/10/03/priestmangoode-prototype-hyperloop-capsule-transport-design/) & [hyperloop.global](http://www.hyperloop.global/) Hyperloop Transportation Technologies is one step closer to achieving its "near-supersonic transportation system" with this prototype. Designed by industrial design studio Priestmangoode, the capsule is truly a look into the possibly near future. The initial vision for this project was revealed in 2017 and, according to HTT co-founder Bibop Gresta, the prototype will be ready for commercial use as early as 2019. The [full-scale model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-systems) is made with a newly developed material called Vibranium. It was revealed during an event in Puerto de Santa Maria in Spain, coinciding with Hyperloop Transportation Technologies' fifth anniversary. Priestmangoode's design is ultra-elegant and takes the shape of a 32-meter long bullet with a capacity of 40 passengers and a top speed of 700 miles per hour. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Near-supersonic Transportation:** The prototype hyperloop capsules showcase a near-supersonic transportation system, creating disruptive innovation opportunities for the transportation industry. - **Vibranium Material:** The use of Vibranium material in the capsule design presents disruptive innovation opportunities in advanced materials and manufacturing industries. - **Ultra-elegant Design:** The ultra-elegant design of the hyperloop capsule signifies a trend towards aesthetically pleasing and comfortable transportation, providing disruptive innovation opportunities in design and travel sectors. ### Who This Affects Most - **Transportation:** The development of near-supersonic transportation systems through hyperloop capsules presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the transportation industry. - **Advanced Materials:** The use of Vibranium material in hyperloop capsule design signifies disruptive innovation opportunities in the advanced materials industry. - **Manufacturing:** The application of advanced manufacturing techniques in producing hyperloop capsules offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the manufacturing industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hydrogen-Powered Hypersonic Airplanes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sky-magnetar.md) - [Progressive Sleeper Transit Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2050-lab.md) - [Post-Colonization Mars Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacex-fusion-concept.md) - [Futuristic Capsule House Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-house.md) - [Panoramic Open-Air Roof Trains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-train.md) - [Superhero-Themed Dynamic Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wakanda-forever-1.md) - [High-Performance Electric Hypercar Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hypercar-prototype.md) - [Superhero-Themed Hypercar Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina.md) - [Space Tourism Travels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-spacecraft.md)
