Virgin Hyperloop (formerly Hyperloop Technologies, Hyperloop One and Virgin Hyperloop One) is an American transportation technology company that works to commercialize the high-speed technology concept called the Hyperloop.
The company was established on June 1, 2014 and reorganized and renamed on October 12, 2017.
Hyperloop systems are intended to move passengers and/or cargo at airline speeds at a fraction of the cost of air travel.
The concept of Hyperloop transportation was first introduced by Robet Goddard in 1910.
The train was designed to run in a vacuum tube that was suspended by magnetic systems.
The planned route runs from Los Angeles, California to Las Vegas, Nevada.

The original Hyperloop concept is proposed to use a linear electric motor to accelerate and decelerate an electromagnetically levitated pod through a low-pressure tube.
The vehicle would glide silently for miles at speeds up to 760 mph (1223.1 km/h) with very low turbulence.
The system is proposed to be entirely autonomous, quiet, direct-to-destination and on-demand.
Additionally, as Hyperloop is proposed to be built on columns or tunneled underground, this could eliminate the dangers of at-grade crossings and require smaller rights of way than high-speed rail or a highway.
Virgin Hyperloop One has made substantive technical changes to Musk's initial proposal and chose not to pursue the Los Angeles–to–San Francisco notional route that Musk envisioned in his 2013 alpha-design white paper.

The company had raised $295 million on December 18, 2017 and demonstrated a form of propulsion technology on May 11, 2016 at its test site in North Las Vegas.
Hyperloop One has completed a 500-meter Development Loop (DevLoop) and on May 12, 2017, held its first full-scale Hyperloop test.
The test combined Hyperloop components including vacuum, propulsion, levitation, sled, control systems, tube and structures.
As of May 2019, the company had raised $400 million.

Its publicly stated goal is to provide a fully operational Hyperloop system by 2020 or 2021.
