It uses 1 ton of oxidiser in 17 seconds for the hybrid rocket. The fuel pump is powered by a 800BHP V8.
At the moment i'm an engineering student at UWE, where the prototype was built, and who have won the contract to build the real one. Having met Richard Noble twice now, I wish him all the best in what will be a memorable acheivement.
For those who dont believe it is a real car - fair enough. However I dont beleive this detracts from the engineering acheivement.
The primary objectives of the BLOODHOUND project are:
* ‘To create a national surge in popularity of Science and Engineering’
* ‘To create an iconic project requiring extreme research and technology, whilst providing the means to enable the student population to share the experience and join in the adventure’
Car, Plane, Rocket, whatever definition it truely fit's under is irrelevant as there is seperate records for wheel driven and jet powered etc.
end of the day it's going for the big 1000 mph and it's british so good luck to em.
