Free material of Shinkansen icon. Speaking of Shinkansen, has characteristic shape like nose of leading vehicle is pointed like this. Impression somewhat similar to nose part of airplane, receiving impression that speed seems very fast. Car body of Shinkansen has several characteristics in its unique shape. These shapes are devised to improve efficiency and safety as high-speed railway. Below are some features and advantages of shape of car body of Shinkansen.

Features of Shinkansen Car Body

Streamlined Design: Car body of Shinkansen has streamlined shape, thereby reducing air resistance. Since air resistance is small, train can run efficiently at high speed. This is feature of high-speed railway, contributing to speed improvement.

Nose Shape (Nose Design): Shinkansen has unique nose shape in leading vehicle. This shape contributes to reduction of air resistance when entering tunnel, and also has ventilation effect for passengers when train enters station.

Improvement of Wind Resistance: Design of side and roof of car body is also devised to improve wind resistance. Thereby, stable running is possible even in crosswind or bad weather.

Improvement of Connection Part: Joint part connecting vehicles and device to reduce air resistance between car bodies are made. Thereby, Shinkansen composed of multiple vehicles can also operate efficiently.

Use of Light and Durable Materials: Car body of Shinkansen uses light and durable materials. Thereby, reducing weight of vehicle, improving energy efficiency.

Due to features of these shapes and designs, Shinkansen enables high-speed and efficient operation, widely used in Japan’s railway network.
