Hyperloop Development Competition, organized under the technical leadership of TÜBİTAK Rail Transportation Technologies Institute (RUTE) and the overall coordination of the Directorate for Science and Society (BİTO), is a technology-focused competition that enables the development of various magnetic levitation and propulsion systems. Organized in 2026 in three different categories, namely the Performance Category, Technology Demonstration Category, and Defined Problem Solution Category, the competition aims to support the university-level development of innovative systems referred to as fifth-generation transportation technologies and cultivate qualified human resources in this field.
The Technology Demonstration Category of the competition allows teams to focus on a specific subsystem and present it in the competition, rather than developing a complete capsule.
The competition is open to associate, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students studying in Türkiye or abroad. In the Technology Demonstration Category of the competition, teams that have successfully passed the Technology Demonstration Report stage are now eligible to submit their Test Videos.
Evaluation results are available on the KYS portal.
We sincerely thank all participating teams for their efforts and congratulate those who have advanced to the next stage.
