Later this year Bloodhound SSC will aim to beat the 763mph land speed record set by
Thrust SSC
, ahead of a 1,000mph attempt in 2016. Exciting times.
This isn't a top speed run, or even practice. Sorry. It's a look at the communications side of Bloodhound SSC, the work that goes into ensuring messages between Andy Green in the car and the rest of the team are perfect. That means flying planes and driving cars very fast across the Hakskeen Pan, and obviously filming it in slow motion. Looks great.
News on the Bloodhound project had gone a little quite recently so it's great to see the team edging closer to what could be an incredible record. We eagerly await further progress!
