Bloodhound uses Typhoon engine!

Post by GOOSE » Sun Nov 29, 2009 8:19 pm

For those unfamiliar with the project, Bloodhound uses a Typhoon engine and is to be piloted by Wg Cmdr Andy Green.

From the Beeb - RAF fighter pilot Andy Green intends to get behind the wheel of a car that is capable of reaching 1,000mph (1,610km/h). Powered by a rocket bolted to a Eurofighter-Typhoon jet engine, the Bloodhound car will mount an assault on the land speed record.

Wing Cmdr Green is writing a diary for the BBC News Website about his experiences working on the Bloodhound project and the team's efforts to inspire national interest in science and engineering.
