Hyperworks Global Observatory · 2026

Where hyperloop is actually going.

Verified cards with source and date: projects, test tracks and public programmes that are actually moving hyperloop forward.

World first

The first global observatory for hyperloop.

Hyperworks gathers, cross-checks and publishes the verified status of hyperloop programmes, test facilities and installations. We separate live progress from announcements that have not yet materialised.

Active projects only

Real status, not the hype.

This view lists only verified programmes with public proof of activity in 2025–2026: project development, test infrastructure, ongoing testing or funded research. Completed, suspended or feasibility-only projects are in the historical archive.

Open the historical archive

Physical installations

Where the tubes, tracks and capsules are.

A separate register documents every site with hyperloop hardware: test tracks, vacuum tubes, capsule prototypes and research labs, with coordinates, status and source.

Annual market research

One annual study on the hyperloop market.

Every year we publish an open study on the state of the market: real projects, concrete investments, operating installations, ongoing regulation and technology comparison. It is an honest alternative to paid reports.

First edition in preparation for 2026.
