The Aerodynamic Problem Holding Hyperloops Back

Why Haven't Hyperloops become a reality?In this podcast episode, we're joined by Aerodynamicist, Benedikt Geiben, to discuss the aerodynamic problem that's holding hyperloops back, and his latest research looking to help solve it.If you want to get in touch with Benedikt, you can via his socials heree:Benedikt LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benediktgeiben/Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.de/citations?user=VXXj8twAAAAJAnd if you're interested in the paper shown in this video, it can be found here:https://doi.org/10.1007/s13272-025-00921-3Licensed under creative commons: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/And if you'd like to learn more about HTLES, Benedikt sent me these two:Duffal et al., 2019: https://doi.org/10.1115/AJKFluids2019-4937Duffal et al., 2022: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10494-021-00264-zLearn CFD / Aerodynamics✅ OpenFOAM Courses: https://premieraerodynamics.com/Courses/✅ Automotive Aerodynamics Course: https://premieraerodynamics.com/Automotive-Aerodynamics/✅ RC Airplane Design & Build Course: https://premieraerodynamics.com/RC-Airplane-Course/Work with me🚗 Car CFD Simulation Commissions: https://premieraerodynamics.com/Simulate-Your-Own-Car/Interested in plane aerodynamics?
