They were building/designing this at my Uni (UWE) befroe they got their current premises.
Always interesting when you see people building a scale model in the corner of your class, then when you realise its the actual one they're using for wind-tunnell testing...

Maximum "designed" speed is 1050 mph.

Did a guestimation in our first ever dynamics lecture, wheels experience over 1000 g's before you even consider impacting forces!!!!
