The bullet train has a nose like a kingfisher beak. The bird dives into water from the air without making a splash, thanks to its highly efficiently-shaped beak. It was realized that the same shape could solve an annoying problem faced by ultra-fast trains which created a loud booming sound like a thunder clap whenever they exited a tunnel and the train's nose also slowed down the train as well.

The new, kingfisher-inspired train nose eliminates this problem, also making the trains up to 20 percent more fuel efficient. #allahuakbarallahuakbarallahuakbar
