Bloodhound project: 1050mph
29/04/2010 Email to a friend   Comment on this article

It was recently announced that the Bloodhound Aerodynamics team has resolved the issue of excessive tail lift at supersonic speeds. This video clip has been produced by sponsor Siemens from their NX CAD software, and shows the much flatter sides and narrower rear wheel track as it spins the computer model of the car around.

I feel sure the car will destabilise and crash as soon as the rocket engine is fired unless they have figured out a soft strt for it.
this news item proves there is a problem inherent in the design.
