A recent post in Tech Crunch breathlessly postulated that the planned Hyperloop One system envisioned for the Middle East will one day be able to handle the equivalent of US$12 billion of the region\u2019s entire $35 billion cargo market, including all $7 billion worth of airfreight shipments in the Gulf Cooperation Council region.
\nI\u2019ll pause here to let your laughter die down.
\nYes, the system that Hyperloop One proposed at this week\u2019s Global Manufacturing and Industrialization Summit in Abu Dhabi may seem like the the ultimate pneumatic pipe dream, conceived by people who have used too many mind-altering substances. But remember that not all that long ago\u00a0\u2013 a little more than a century \u2013 the idea of sending tonnes of cargo in one of those newfangled \u201caeroplane contraptions\u201d seemed equally ludicrous.
\nSee David Harris\u2019 recent post in Cargo Facts for a little healthy perspective:
\nModal shift \u2013 to Hyperloop?
