The Faster Car in the World Aims 1000mph Mark


The Faster Car in the World Aims 1000mph Mark

Finally, engineers have completed the design of the vehicle that is
 expected to break the world landspeed record. It is expected that the
 vehicle will reach a speed of  1,000 milesper hour for the first time in history.








The project, entitled Bloodhound Supersonic, has the goal of breaking the
record of 763mph that was established 12 years ago. The car will be constructed
in Bristol, UK, before it performs its first test drive at a dried-out lake in
South Africa in 2011.
It is worth mentioning that the 1000kg Rolls Royce EJ100 jet engine is used
 on the Eurofighter Typhoon, a next-gen European combat aircraft.
The jet engine is going to be supported by a
400kg hybrid rocket, which, combined with the two engines,
will be able to generate more power than 180 Formula One cars.

The vehicle that is part of a 10 million pounds project will be driven
 by Andy Green, who is the present record holder and RAF pilot
 Wing Commander.
