Running Exercise On Period

THE FASTEST ROAD VEHICLE

After four years of development began making Bloodhound supersonic car chassis, designed to exceed a speed of 1,600 mph, the BBC reported.

The builders of the Bloodhound SSC (from the words super-sonic car, supersonic car, in English) expect that the vehicle can reach speeds of 1,600 miles per hour, ie 1.4 times faster than the speed of sound This would be a real speed record achieved by a land vehicle.

Bloodhound SSC will be powered by two motors: one motor hunting Eurofighter, the other a Falcon rocket. It is expected that the car took 40 seconds to reach full speed, a distance of 7.2 kilometers, and will need a similar distance to stop.

The vehicle is the result of four years of work. During this period improved their shape and aerodynamics, and rejected ten variations which could not pass the tests. The prototype car was introduced in the summer of 2010 under the international air show Farnborough International Airshow in the UK.

As the car driver, Andy Green, a pilot with the Royal Air Force, the Bloodhound have "180 times the power of a Formula One car." The pilot believes that to be carried out, the ambitious project of building a supersonic car "will inspire a whole generation."

Now Hampson Industries company, dedicated to providing engineering services in the field of aerospace, automotive, construction began on the chassis of the vehicle. As said Andy Green, under the sponsorship agreement will be built on the front of the chassis and the cockpit from carbon fiber parts.

Meanwhile, the developers are still working on the design aerodynamic vehicle, calculating the size of the rear wing and outlining the air brake and suspension structure.

The first test of the vehicle, which aims to establish a new speed record, is scheduled for late 2011 or early 2012. For testing, the Bloodhound will be transported to South Africa, the dry lake bed Hakskeen Pan, which know their limits.

The team of British engineers presented Bloodhound SSC, and in 1997 built the car BCC Trust, which marked the supersonic speed record of 1,228 mph, driven by the same pilot Andy Green.
