Excellent news, it's a credit to the design engineers 
Thanks. The upper chassis was my baby.Paul
Can't wait to come and see her in the flesh in May.
Saw this product and thought of you

I suspect you already know about them but they might prove useful at 1000mph.

I have used them a lot in the past on non racing projects, normally on a racing car I'd call up a k-nut with integral washer.

Having finally watched the Chris Harris video about Bloodhound, very excited to see how it (she?) performs. The level of detail is extremely impressive.
Apologies if this has been asked before, couldn't see anything related. But the design and vision of the project as a whole, is it led and directed by one person (Richard Noble I presume) or more by committee?
Where has the experience of the team as a whole come from mainly - aerospace?

Chief engineer is Mark Chapman, Richard is the sole director & brings in much of the money.Apologies if this has been asked before, couldn't see anything related.

The design is directed by the small group of engineers, who work well as a team. we are from aerospace & motorsport backgrounds.
I also have vaguely related questions to that ^.
How did/does the design process work? What was the brief?
When was the inception of the idea, how long ago?
And how finalised was the design before the build started - would you say you had a design firmly locked down, and now you are simply building what was engineered and documented?
OR - is the design more fluid, developing over time? And what you are building now is more of a prototype?
Also interested to know what software and systems are being used to manage the design and build - What CAD systems, and is there any form of product lifecycle management being used?
Thanks!
(Vehicle design engineer, nothing as exciting as this though!)

1) Make a car that goes fast
2) Andy needs to survive driving it
3) No, faster than that.
4) Nope faster still. Yes you can use a jet
5) And a rocket
6) And its got to do be turned around and run again in under an hour.
7) Ok more than one rocket.

That's a pretty well running team for things to run smoothly and keep making progress. The design is directed by the small group of engineers, who work well as a team. we are from aerospace & motorsport backgrounds.
What on Earth are you all going to do afterwards? Be a few generations before anyone can challenge this record.

By being successful we effectively make ourselves redundant....... anybody looking looking for a motorsport design engineer in 2016????

I have no idea & that genuinely worries me.

I imagine it'll be pretty good on the CV!
Regarding the upper chassis, is there going to be an inside skin to smooth the airflow into the jet intake?
There is a large duct that we've designed, manufactured using resin infusion molding & tested:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3ZDkGKoliIRegarding the upper chassis, is there going to be an inside skin to smooth the airflow into the jet intake?

Here's the full story of the first off desert wheel manufacture from the BBC Science correspondent, Jonathan Amos.
