"Hyperloop Passenger Capsule
The maximum width is 4.43 ft (1.35 m) and maximum height is 6.11 ft (1.10 m). With rounded corners, this is equivalent to a 15 ft2 (1.4 m2) frontal area, not including any propulsion or suspension components."
At a first look I didn't get that the proposed passenger capsule would be so small. That's pretty cramped.
Edit: Isn't the the ft to m conversion for the height wrong?
- toyg 13y agoOr pretty exclusive.
- mladenkovacevic 13y agoYeah that should definitely be 2.10 meters
- Gravityloss 13y agoOr then the m to ft conversion is wrong.
- dragonwriter 13y agoFrom the pictures, 1.10m heigth with 1.35m width looks more right; in any case, there's no simple typo: If the feet are correct, (6.11 ft), then it should be 1.86m, not 1.10m (or 2.10m as you suggest.) If the meters are correct (1.10m), it should be 3.61 ft (not 6.11 ft).
- codfrantic 13y agoWouldn't they write 6 foot 11 inches as 6.11 (eventhough it's confusing and wrong). Because that would make it 2.10 meters.
- dragonwriter 13y agoI suppose that's the most plausible explanation. (Doesn't seem to match the height-width relationship in the sketches, but its the only thing that makes the particular numbers used understandable as a fairly simple-to-explain error.)
