The major limiting factor for performance is atmospheric resistance. Vehicles operating in a vacuum environment do not suffer these problems and may travel at their listed performance rating x2 or more. | The major limiting factor for performance is atmospheric resistance.

Maglev End Units rarely operate independently, though they are capable of doing so do, instead being used to form the heads and tails of longer trains. Maglev End Units have improved aerodynamic properties and can travel at higher speeds than regular (less aerodynamic) maglev vehicles. Maglev End Units have an automatic coupling system that includes data, power and environmental linkages. | Maglev End Units rarely operate independently, though they are capable of doing so do, instead being used to form the heads and tails of longer trains.
