I assume it's to enable the team to trial fit and "align" (with a big hammer??) the hinges for said doors, before the "real" doors are available, which are probably milled by hand trained royal blood hamsters out of the worlds finest unobtainium and then bathed in the milk of 1000 Oxen for 100 days before being polished to a shine by 24 vessel virgins. or something like that.... ;-)
(hinges must be a bit of a 'mare, being multiple hinges on a curved surface, and having to be pretty chunky to prevent the "doors being blown off" /MichaelCain when they operate)
max , are those like vestal virgins , but they come from another planet? (hinges must be a bit of a 'mare, being multiple hinges on a curved surface, and having to be pretty chunky to prevent the "doors being blown off" /MichaelCain when they operate)

Did you mean vestal virgins?(hinges must be a bit of a 'mare, being multiple hinges on a curved surface, and having to be pretty chunky to prevent the "doors being blown off" /MichaelCain when they operate)

I'd like too, but i can't. My fault i'm afraid ;-)
Thought ya'll might like to see a 650mph desert comms test we conducted last autumn: http://youtu.be/9ocGJyso1-o

Radio waves travel at the speed of light so I highly doubt the radio transmitters give a rats backside whether a car is doing 10mph or 1000mph. Seems more like a daft Jaguar PR stunt than any remotely useful test. That said, I'm sure you had a fun day out!
The transmitters wouldn't care but the receivers certainly do. Cheaper ways to test it though !k-ink said:

Doppler shift over 1000mph is a potential problem that immediately comes to mind, and not being a specialist in this sort of thing, I suspect there are other complications.However, I would imagine that there was at least a bit of PR involved. TBH, that's exactly the sort of thing I like about this sort of project.
Edit: What Gifdy said then.
