World's first 1,000 mph Bloodhound SuperSonic Car set for 2016 trial
Washington, Dec 05 : The Bloodhound SuperSonic Car (SSC) that has the plans to hit the world land speed record at 1,000 mph has been finally put together and will be taken to Hakskeen Pan, a dry lake bed in South Africa in 2016 for a crack at the record breaking attempt.
According to CNN, the car is made of titanium, carbon fiber and is designed to go faster than a speeding bullet.
Former fighter jet pilot Royal Air Force (RAF) Wing Commander Andy Green said that even designing such a car that can hold together such blistering speeds is a triumph of the engineer's art.
Green for the Bloodhound Project headquarters said that it is really difficult to keep a tire on beyond 450mph which is why they have solid aluminum on it.
The Bloodhound Project takes the land speed record a step ahead in a car that is part Formula 1 racer, part space rocket and part jet fighter. (ANI)
