Project Bloodhound
Project Bloodhound answers the question of what to do when you reckon a land speed record of 763mph isn’t quite enough. Brought to you by the team responsible for Thrust SCC, the car that broke the sound barrier back in 1997, Project Bloodhound is aiming to take Andy Green beyond 1000mph.
To achieve Mach 1.4, the Bloodhound will employ a mix of rocket and jet power. The jet, pinched from a Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, nestles just above a rocket, providing a combined thrust of 135,000bhp – that’s the equivalent of 180 Formula One engines.
