You will have a chance to network with other businesses as well as the Bloodhound team to discover how they are uniting expertise from science, technology, engineering and mathematics in attempt to reach an unbelievable 1000mph.
The BLOODHOUND SSC Mission
We have a wonderful opportunity with BLOODHOUND: an opportunity to create the ultimate land speed record car. When we designed and built Thrust2 we had the objective of achieving a peak speed of 650 mph, just beyond the existing record of 622.407 mph held by Gary Gabelich in Blue Flame.
Then came ThrustSSC, which raised the Thrust2 record by a whopping 130 mph – that’s 20%. But BLOODHOUND is different - so different. The target is 1,000mph - that’s a 31% jump and there is no way that the BLOODHOUND SSC is going to look like anything we have seen before. Visit www.bloodhoundssc.co.uk
