Supersonic car test before world record run


A supersonic car combining the technology of a fighter jet, F1 car and spacecraft has been tested in public ahead of a land speed world record attempt.
Bloodhound SSC has been built over nine years by a team of Bristol-based engineers from aeronautical and automotive backgrounds.
After weeks of trials, the car was put through its paces at Newquay Airport in Cornwall.
The two runway trials came after a series of tests to check the car's steering, brakes, suspension and data systems, as well as the efficiency of the intake feeding air to the EJ200 jet engine, sourced from a Eurofighter Typhoon.
The landmark moment in the high-profile project came 20 years after the current land speed world record was set on 15 October, 1997.
Many of those who set that record are back to break it, including Wing Commander Andy Green who drove Thrust SSC (Super Sonic Car) in the Nevada desert, making history as the first person to breach the sound barrier at 763.035 mph.

Bloodhound will use Typhoon jet engine to reach around 350mph before a Jaguar V8 car engine and a rocket help it pass 1,000mph.
