Bloodhound LSR Thread As Requested...
Discussion
This is going to sound like a supremely stupid question but is wireless technology progressing to the point where speed and latency is getting to a point where you could run the vehicle remotely?
I understand the record would only stand with a human on board, but it would surely allow for some extreme testing in the future.

Standard 'mobile' technology as used by your friendly operator - no. 5G will get down to 1ms latency and you could build a proprietary point to point system with even less but I don't suppose that would be the limiting factor. Responding to issues in the car will depend on anticipation and instinct which are built up from years of experience and all sorts of sensory inputs - some of which could be very subtle and the pilot, sorry driver, may not even be conscious of them. How would you transfer all these 'feelings' back to a remote pilot ?

I did think that an advanced 'simulator' that responds to real time telemetry could be employed.Asterix said:

Amazing work...

Am I alone in being concerned about the American attempt? Compare and contrast their... ahem... engineered solution to the Bloodhound. I sincerely hope they don't push so hard as to put anyone at risk.
Sod getting in that...

The rollover protection, or more accurately, the lack of rollover protection worries me a great deal. Lets face it, LSR cars are not exactly known for their stability and ANY speed.....
No has to be the only answer to the above, as the F104 ejects downwards out of the bottom of the fuselage, which is probably not that helpful in an LSR car.
