Virgin unveils first prototype of Hyperloop One passenger pod - architecture and design

Virgin unveils first prototype of Hyperloop One passenger pod



Virgin has revealed a prototype design of the pods that will be used on the Hyperloop One network to transport passengers between Dubai and Abu Dhabi in just 12 minutes.
As part of UAE Innovation Month, Virgin's Hyperloop One collaborated with Dubai's Road Transport Authority (RTA) to present a full-scale model of the passenger pod at Dubai's City Walk mall.

Excited to unveil our Dubai hyperloop pod, developed in collaboration with the @rta_dubai, in the presence of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (link in bio).

Each pod is designed to accommodate up to 10 people, and as a completed service will be able to transport approximately 10,000 passengers per hour, both to and from Dubai. The sleek, futuristic-looking capsule features a plush white interior, with high-definition screens for displaying information and entertainment materials.
It also has cream and beige leather seats, which Dubai newspaper Khaleej Times claims to have been designed by German car manufacturer BMW.

Blue and red neon lights illuminate the interior space, positioned along the walkway, the walls and ceiling, and embedded in the seating.
"There will be no windows. However, there will be interactive entertainment screens at the armrest of the seats. The seats have been designed in a very futuristic manner," Abdulredha Abu Alhassan, executive director at the RTA, told the Khaleej Times.
