Bloodhound gets official RR backing

[Paul.B]

It would seem Rolls Royce (Aero Engines) are officially giving their backing to the Bloodhound project.

Can only be a good thing.

It's taken them long enough, I remember being at a talk from the team about 3/4 years ago saying that when they approached rolls Royce about a query on the engine they were like but you don't have a typhoon engine. To which the reply was no we have 3! Apparently rolls weren't best pleased.
