 * 1. Avian Elements: High Speed Train **
 * Japan’s 500 Series Shinkansen bullet train. One of the fastest trains in the world; with a speed of 200 mph. Designers of the train emulated one of the quietest birds (owls) to enable the train to run quietly yet at a high speed. The train’s nose cone was modeled after Kingfisher, which reduces the sonic booms that occurs when the train passes from a tunnel back into the open air, reducing noise pollution.
