Скачать или смотреть World's FASTEST Elevator Factory & Vertical Speed Limit Challenge ★ ONLY in JAPAN

What are the vertical speed limits of elevator travel, in super tall skyscrapers — and beyond to outer space?
The World's Fastest Elevator was designed and made by Hitachi in Japan in 2019 — 1260 meters per minute (47 mph) up the Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre, 95 floors in 43 seconds! The title of World's Fastest Elevator has changed just 8 times in the last 100 years starting with the Empire State Building in 1931. Since 1978, Japanese manufacturers have maintained the fastest title. But how did they do it? What are the limits of vertical travel? Can they keep the record?
I visited Hitachi's Mito Plant to take with Takashi Abe, Developmental Supervisor of the world's fastest elevator. The challenge to develop, manufacture and install it was a monumental task.

Data Correction:
▶︎ 08:05 the elevator speed for the Empire State Building is 366 m/min and RCA Building 427 m/min. The MPH speed is correct. It reads 540 m/min which is an editing mistake. The speeds is listed at the end of the video correctly at ▶︎ 14:09 with all the world record holders. I'm sorry for the error.
