Bloodhound Super Sonic Car (SSC),FASTEST CAR 1000 Miles / hour

Human efforts to breach the speed limit never stopped. A group ofBritish team plans to surpass the record of the world's fastest land vehicles, which until now has not been solved, since 13 years ago.

This car is called Bloodhound Super Sonic Car (SSC), is targetedto be rising as tight as 1000 miles per hour or about 1600 km perhour, exceeding the current speed of the fastest vehicle, ThrustSSC, which can be sped up to 763 miles per hour or 1228 km perhour .

With speed, the Bloodhound even beat the speed of a bullet firedfrom the mouth of Magnum revolver pistol-speed 0357 441 metersper second.

"We get many offers from various companies around the world,who want to become a sponsor," says Richard Noble, the record-breaking project director, told BBC News.

As a result, more parties who intend to provide financial assistance, rather than Bloodhound ability to promote these companies. Clearly, major airline companies are also involved inthis project.

Dissecting Bloodhound

As quoted from Physorg, Machine Bloodhound rocket powered by a combination of the Falcon and an EJ200 jet engine used on theEurofighter Typhoon fighter aircraft.

Jet engine is capable of producing thrust as hard as nine tons,while the rocket engine will provide additional impetus by 12 tons.

The Bloodhound body made of a thin mixture. The wheels were made from a mixture of solid aluminum, weighs 97 kg and 90 cm in diameter. Especially for this wheel, Lockheed Martin, maker of jet aircraft F-22 Raptor and F-35, which will make it.

Wheels are an important element, because the estimated wheel vehicle is a rotating wheel with the highest speed of 170 revolutions per second (about 10,200 rpm). The pressure on the wheel was also estimated at about 150 megapascals.

While the jet engine maker in the F-1 car, Cosworth, who recently joined, will be involved in the manufacture of one power unit that controls the liquid oxidiser in rocket Bloodhound. And Hampson Industries will build the rear of the car.

This record-breaking itself will be held in Hakskeen Pan in northern Cape Province, South Africa. On the track along the 20 km and 1.5 km wide, it should not found a stone at all, because it can cause a fatal accident.

Therefore, around 300 local people have been mobilized to clean up the track from the rock. Bloodhound must do twice this track to break records. Results average speed is what will become the official speed of the vehicle.

Richard Noble himself is a person who also heads the vehicle Thrust SSC team in 1987, which until now his record is still unresolved. In fact, in 1983 he himself was riding a record-breaking Thrust 2 vehicle the fastest in the world, beat the speed of Bluebird CN7.
