Default Bloodhound SSC

Everyone has to follow this amazing project:

http://www.bloodhoundssc.com/

They are test firing the rocket engine this afternoon, 80,000hp and uses a Cosworth F1 engine just to supply the fuel to the rocket engine. Designed to travel upto 1000mph (a mile in 3.5 seconds) and driven by Andy Green - what a bloke. I always admired the Thrust SSC project but this is on another level again. Do a search on the project designer, Daniel Jubb, and they deserve to do it just for the effort he's put into his tash alone.

Britain at its best again, give any support you can...........Andy
