How the Bloodhound LSR will go 1,000MPH - APEX:60

- The Bloodhound LSR is on a mission to be the first “Car” to break the 1,000MPH barrier.
At the helm will be former British Royal Air Force pilot Andy Green. He knows a thing or two about land speed records. In 1997, 50 years after Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in an aircraft, Andy broke it on land. His jet-powered Thrust SSC cut across the desert like a scalpel, separating Earth from sky, at an average speed of 763.035MPH.
Now he wants to go even faster. The Bloodhound team has spent more than ten years and countless millions building a machine that can cross terra firma at nearly twice the speed of your last commercial flight. Why? To inspire kids to be interested in science. That’s a mission we can support.
How will the LSR do it? Hit play to find out.

I understand Ian Warhurst is offering the project at a very reasonable price to anyone with the chops to see it through to completion. The first person I thought of is Jay Leno. He definitely has the connections to pool the money and talent that would be required. When it's done turning wheels in anger, it would make a fantastic addition to his already impressive collection.
It needs to stay British
Koenigsegg... this would be a nice side project to show the world how to get this done with your technological ingenuity :)
Its not about ingeniuty.
Its about cost/money.
You think that Koenigsegg will do something better than NASA or Boeing?
LS swap it!
It will do 7000mph!
Unfortunately, I think the program is done. They found a lot of handling issues during their first runs on the desert. Plus the whole thing was already suffering a lack of funding. Add in the economic collapse due to Covid and I think we can stick a fork in this one. Which is sad. I really wanted them to pull it off.
Letsgoooooooo! :)
thats not a car ^^ just a rocket with wheels
It has a steering wheel! :)
@@TangentVector yes with a turning circle
of 1 km :D
@@ChowdongsFameCrew probably more like 3 miles
well the turning circle is actualy 120 meters
