Hello,
watched the engine test on the thrust rocket for the Bloodhound 1,000mph car this lunchtime (on a live feed via Cisco, I may add). Very impressive with 14000 pounds thrust developed (it's roughly the same in horsepower). The rocket uses an 800bhp Cosworth formula 1 engine to drive the fuel pump!
And we thought Bimotas were exotic!
Cheers, MikeJ |
