Why The World's Fastest Train Looks So Weird

Whenever I saw videos of the world's fastest train, the SCMaglev from Japan, I always wondered why it had such a long nose? The front is much longer than other trains, but was this just for a futuristic look? Well, it turns out this nose has an important purpose that came from a unexpected natural origin, the kingfisher.

Thanks for this highly competent explanation of a question I had asked myself, but never had the patience to leaf through Google. Our German high speed lines use the hood approach at tunnel portals, though I notice that each new class of ICE also has a longer nose than the last.

Soon as you mentioned a piston I immediately thought of how the ports on a 2 stroke engine work, or the ports on a MTB fork

Impressive. Both video and the tunnels.

Thanks for such a clear & detailed explanation of this! Super interesting

This video explained that long nose is only one of several ways to reduce the shock wave. Long nose is not necessarily the future !

I did not expect that people would put suppressors on railway tunnels.

interesting how the new Nasa supersonic X-plane, X-59, has a very similar 'duck beak' to redirect the sonic boom upwards.

Really neat great information.

This is the same principle behind the shape of the new supersonic airliners being designed. I like the fact that it comes from nature (as many things do). Also, are they doing belly flops on purpose?

I'm on a solo trip to Japan and literally wondered about it today. Didn't search nor talk about it with anyone. It's scary how the algorithms seem to read our minds.
