come on man, details matter!
IN5IGHT later today:come on man, details matter!
"One, two, three, four, five...
...twelve thousand four hundred and ninenty nine, twelve thousand five hundred. Yep, I was right!"
IN5IGHT's colleague: " Did you count the ones under the bo-jiggley valve housing?
IN5IGHT: "Doh! Twelve thousand five hundred and one ... "

Sometimes engineering looks just "right". That looks sweet as a nut. Crackin job Gromit lad!This really needs to be posted in the "Life has been draining lately..." thread: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
Superb thread.
I've a question if you dont mind answering.
Does the car adapt suspension/aero during the run to counter any effects of the weight/CofG change due too fuel use? A sort of trimming so to speak, and if yes is it auto or meat controlled?
And my friends son wants to know how fast it would go in space.
cheers.

Yes, we have the facility to map the angle of the winglets at any given speed to a simple lookup table, so they will move hydraulically to a given angle at a given speed. Not a closed loop control based on wheel loads however as that's very difficult to achieve safely.I've a question if you dont mind answering.

Any idea when you will have finished with the panel pins?
Does the Bloodhound project have a website where you can buy stuff (better known as merchandise)? If it does and you plan to sell them there please let us know.

We will be selling them at some point. Bare in mind though this is a two year project, a certain level of re-engineering is going to occur between year one & two.Does the Bloodhound project have a website where you can buy stuff (better known as merchandise)? If it does and you plan to sell them there please let us know.
