Mmmmm, looks like the students took styling cues from Rover for that lovely wooden interior. :wack:

:rofl:

Amazing project, a few of my friends went / go to uwe :)

doubt the final piece would be wooden... thats around mach 1.4, the shockwaves will rip it apart lol! its gonna need some crazy anti lift devices on it once the airflow becomes fully supersonic. tis some achievement

I would say imposible for a land speed record at that speed just cant see it staying on the ground.

Let's hope they don't ask Hammond to drive it !

:rofl::rofl:

That's gonna be a nightmare in car parks.

im sorry....engeneering students are trying to produce a 1000mph car ?? Surely engeneering EXPERTS should be doing it ??

faster than a bullit from dirty harry's gun! do you feel lucky punk?:rofl:

 

dan.:D

well its nice to see the brits can still do something right

but they still hold the current record lol

Thats just the model ofcourse. I seen this today and met some of the design team.

 

Saw the £4million Rolls Royce Jet engine thats powering (well when I say saw it, it was inside a sealed container). Also seen the workings of the additional thrust rocket burner ....and unbelieveably the 600bhp V12 Engine being used purely as a fuel pump !!!

Students are only assisting in certain design aspects (like the cockpit), the Noble engineering team are the people developing it, with the current world speed record holder Andy Green piloting it.

Yeah but it wont go round roundabouts tho :D
