Everyone is talking about the 1,000mph run, but you need to appreciate the risks Andy takes every time he straps himself in... 380mph is dismissed as being almost insignificant, but an incident at this speed would be catastrophic. Respect.
VERY CATASTROPHIC INDEED and that ONLY 1/3rd of the top speed at 1,000 mph!!! Definitely looked as though the car was getting a bit upset right before he shut it down. It appeared, to me, as if it started to veer to the right pretty hard!?!?!? Although, I haven’t a clue as to what I am even looking at and/or for at those speeds and that particular vehicle, so maybe it is normal for it to go left or right a little when they start backing down on the power and begin to slow it down, once they reach their targeted speed???
Have to admire the methodical, premeditated approach to testing and evaluating the various systems and building knowledge and experience in a controlled manner.
Certainly different to days of yore, where it was just slap on an extra pair of undies and floor it. ;)
It's how you stay alive in this game
I agree, very admirable. At the same time, for someone who loves speed, you know the temptation to just put the petal to the medal has to be there in the back of the mind every once in awhile. Great self control! 😎👍🏻
Bloodhound UA-cam crew, could you please give us subtitles of the radio chatter? As it is now, it's unintelligible.
He said: _Yes_
@@neomatrix3612 A lot more than that was exchanged between Andy Green and the control centre, the problem being it was all but impossible to understand what was said. ;)
@@SceneArtisan Ye, I was just kidding :) It's pretty hard to hear.. Hopefully they can fix that.
@@neomatrix3612 Oh, sorry, ok. :) Yeah, here's hoping! :)
He said focus now Mr Dog...
Superb job everyone. The car looks great and looks like shes performing well. Keep up the great work 👍
The amount of steering input!
will be 4 times that required at mach 1.1
20 times that at mach2
I think it needs an automatic steering system before that thing reaches record speed. How about a laser at the end point for the car to follow. Either that or a wider course to allow slower steering correction.
Does anyone know if the steering is linked to the rudder/tain fin?
@@peteashby7716 maybe they should ask richard hammond to drive the thing
That does look and sound shockingly normal and routine for something that is going half the speed of sound on the ground. I guess from the cockpit you’d want it to, but... That is shockingly impressive. So far, it seems to run like a new Toyota... Big on safe and reliable, small on exciting.
Can you please show us the speedometer as the car runs
You ca actually zoom in on the speedometer and see how fast he is going. It’s on the left side of the screen in the cockpit video feed. You can make out the 0-1,200 mph dial (looks like an old analog wall clock or old school thermometer) an kind of keep up with it that way. It starts at 0, of course, and each mark is in 100 mph increments. So, it goes from 0 mph to 100 mph, then to 200 mph and, so on, all the way to 1,200 mph. But this run was only a 380 mph test hit and not a full pull, if you will. You can actually see the dial on the speedometer start at 0 mph and go up and up until it almost reaches 400 mph and it starts coming back down. There is also a digital readout, i.e. 203 mph like a digital alarm clock or the time on your car radio, in the middle of the speedometer dial but you just absolutely can not make it out, at all, in the video. But, I definitely get what you’re saying, in regards to a speed/mph display during the runs. Like in the top or bottom corner they could put a digital readout that shows “realtime” speed in mph’s, that way it would be a lot easier to see and keep up with and then you wouldn’t have to watch the video again just so that you can zoom in on the dash and try and get a somewhat clear view of the electronic display that the pilot/driver looks at during each run and then attempt to decipher a grainy looking analog speedometer!!! All the while, the car and the camera is shaking, due to the wildly excessive forces that are exerted all over the car, the chassis, the driver/pilot, each and every one of the cameras that are mounted on the inside and the outside of the vehicle, as well as any and every thing else on AND within this vehicle, while going 380+ mph!!! So yes… a speed display in mph would be really nice down in the bottom corner of the video!!!
Looking good in every sense of those words. Thanks for the updates. Best of luck all of you.
So happy to see real progress on the ground
That's more like it. Wonderful! This is what I have been hoping to see ever since the Bloodhound was announced. Well done to everyone who has played any part in the project... so far ;-)
For those who couldn't understand the radio chatter, let me translate .......
"Mumble, Mumble, Mumble. Mumble. Mumble, Mumble. Crackle!" 🤭
Well...he was a pilot ....
Are you sure, I thought it was mumble, mumble, crackle, mumble mumble!
All the money to get here and their radio gear is crap.
It really is interesting - the Thrust SSC clips from more than 20 years ago sound crystal clear compared to this.
Pretty sure it's an impedance matching issue from the intercom system to whatever they're using to record this - not at all difficult to fix if you know what you're doing.
He was giving an update on the Eng vs Boks game.
How about some graphics on screen of speed, g-force etc??
This is 2019 and big-data
The G force shouldn't be huge.... unless something goes EXTREMELY wrong. The estimated G seems to be about 1.5g on acceleration.
Another successful run. Encouraging work.
Audio quality is horrible. I couldn't understand one word.
thanks for finding the time out of everything else that needs to be done to post these videos. Awesome to come back everyday and see the next steps being taken....27 seconds...
Andy makes flying a rocket sideways look easy.
Well done with the progress being made, this is actually more exciting than one realizes.
And happening on my home soil, I love it!
Would it be possible to pair the videos with a speedometer or some sort of telemetry? It would be awesome!
Great job guys, keep it on!
Amazed at the amount of steering input.
Go Bloodhound! 👍😎
Awesome! The car looked fairly stable!
keep up the good work thanks for sharing all this
The detailed documentation of progression is really exciting to watch! Any plans/expectations for supersonic runs during this test period, or will that require the rocket?
Is it possible to fix the frame rate on the onboard so we can se the monitors correct?
Average person: "Nah, they are just going in a straight line."
Andy Green battling strong gusts and crosswinds at almost 400 mph: "Yeah, sure..."
What strong gusts? If over 10kt winds they do not run.
Andy Green... Ima just blip the throttle... 380mph...she idles real smooth. Lol
Well done lads just fantastic.👍🇬🇧🍺🤘
well done.. so more runs to go faster soon?
It makes 380mph look like a walk in the park!
Great work guys, keep the videos coming.
What is the best way to watch the 1000mph run? Is it on a main channel in the uk?
Won’t be until next year, these are just test runs upto around 500mph, i expect more coverage when they go for the record
Yeah and will expect lots of delays for wind, would have to be perfect as can't have any of what you see after 0:54 at record speed!
Bloodhound SSC is starting to flex its muscles,
Keep going faster boys!!!
I love the chute, it wants to not be dusty :)
What is with the sound
Looks awesome when it powers up after a hundred metres or so! Did a gust of wind push it wide & Andy had to back off?
Thank the lord they had the good sense to get the best qualified man to sit at the pointy end. Andy Green, the real deal,accept no substitute...
Brilliant!!! That record is going to be smashed. You guys have got this!!!!!!!
Wow now that’s fast.
Will tail cam be added in the future?
Some drone shots from above would be nice.
Sure, but do you have a 500mph drone they can borrow, preferably one that's immune to to the turbulence from a jet engine?
If you can get a drone to go that fast!
@@owensparks5013 Wide panning shots. Your not going to 'chase' the car with a drone.
@@Outland9000 Thank you for agreeing with me on my rationale on this. I thought it was obvious but clearly not.
@@Outland9000 Fair point but even that isn't easy. Drones can't carry much payload so heavy telephoto lenses are out. The track is a couple of miles long, so if you want to keep the car is shot where to you situate the drone? It might be easier to put a big camera on a high crane, that way a decent lens can be used. Where's Trent Palmer when you need him?
I think when he realised the parachute Andy said : chute 1 , we got it! Everything is going to be wonderful.
P.S. Green said these words after a successful run of thrust ssc in 1997
You tube crew can you sort out the video frame rate so we can see the cars computer dash display?
I always "mirror" these videos from my phone to my tv/ hifi system and the communication is just about understandable. But when I use just the phone, only noise. You guys might want to try the same for better audio.
Too easy! You must be chuffed that the car is working so well
Amazing acceleration. Please can we have a voice-over or subtitles as we cannot understand a word being said.
Where's the telemetry??????????? We need speed, G' forces, etc
That, and better video / radio quality. I have seen hobbyists providing better video.
@@chewieone1064 are they not in the desert? How much bandwidth do you suspect their I ternet connection has? I wonder if that's why the videos are short and low res.
I think the problem is the money. They have no money to make good videos :(
@@markd.9422 Hahahaa
@@chewieone1064 Video quality is fine. They just have a sync issue when recording the cockpit screens.
Bugatti: "First to 300, bitches!"
Koenigsegg: "Hold my beer."
Bloodhound: "Amateurs."
All the cool stuff you guys and girls are doing that can inspire the next generation, and your only putting a 2 minute video up a day that shows us not a lot ,I really love this project as I'm sure many more do ,your spending millions on this project and about £1 on your media coverage very poor ,we get better information from some teenagers filming there every day life lol ,send me a plane ticket and I'll sort our your media coverage lol
At about 45 seconds, it looks like there is a bump that really upsets the car. You see the car drift left and Andy begins shut down at that point.
Nice helmet zap Mr Dog!
Fantastic high tech, why the 1940s sound quality?
Is that Fonejacker??? Hahaha
Nah but honestly, good work! :P
Might be worth getting high altitude detail of the sand kicked up by the car to see if there are regular strong crosswinds at any particular point along the track.
Ok, so! First things first, that looked smooth. It seems that trick front suspension is doing well, I would love to know how rough the surface feels from Andy's perspective. Secondly Bloodhound seems to accelerate faster than SSC did. Is this the case and if so why? Is it the performance of the EJ200 engine over the engines used in SSC or a requirement for Bloodhound to accelerate faster due to length of the track? Hopefully someone from *Bloodhound LSR* will read this and perhaps reply.
Really enjoying the daily updates. This is the way to do it, to garner interest in the test runs! I'm sure many of us would love to see wide panning aerial shots from a drone tracking the car as it passes by.
For one thing, Thrust SSC had to apply thrust very slowly up to 100mph. If they did not, with the very large low mounted engine intakes Thrust SSC would hoover up a lot of desert surface which wouldn't have been good for the engines. Above 100mph the airflow was good enough to increase thrust without hoovering the desert. Bloodhound's jet intake is mounted higher, so I suspect hoovering the desert is less of a problem. The one EJ200 weighs half what a Spey did yet provides the same thrust roughly, and the car is lighter than ThrustSSC. So power to weight ratio at the moment with just the EJ200 is probably not vastly different to Thrust SSC. I suspect the desert hoovering is the dominant difference.
@@owensmith7530 That makes alot of sense.
i bet craig is in a garage somewhere in the usa mumbling :P good job lads!
Would have liked to be there pilot got no fear but ill rather just have a look. Brave guy. Veronica
The radio coms are so unclear, making it feel very impersonal. It would be great to hear what was being said. Please use subtitles at least. What you are doing is so impressive, it would be wonderful to get more of an idea what is going on!
That steering certainly needs to be delicate, one twist to strong one way will take the car way off line...was there any side winds today?? Dust seem to stay on line..
Looks tricky to keep it down the centre-line.
It's quite alarming the amount of steering input at such a low speed for the car. Will this level out at higher speeds?
It was the same with Thrust SSC, even formula 1 cars have difficulty driving at low speeds, these cars were engineered for high speeds. So as speeds increase steering will become "easier" minus variables like weather and surface but yeah the car should perform better the faster it goes. There is a great video on this channel of Andy talking through his SSC run and at one point having 90 degree opposite lock and having to throttle back to keep it straight.
The steering is not geared like a road car, the wheels only move a small amount, something like 5-10 degrees for 90 degrees of input.
yeah imagine having to use 20 times this amount at mach 2.2
@@MrJob91 Doesn't work like that....leave the engineering to the big boys....
@@Slapbladder ok
What are the next steps in the process? How fast does the bloodhound team want to go on jet power before adding the rockets to go 1000 mph?
Maybe a little speedometer would help as Its rather difficult to tell how fast it's going at some points
Great idea!
Why do you only produce minimal coverage of each day's testing?
sophie glenn I would imagine that, given the volume of work, we are lucky to get any coverage at all!
Right. We need more vidja. I have been waiting for.... years? Not it all seems fake and unreal. So little information we get...
Yes they are busy. But this is an amazing technical feat. No instrumentation, no radio comms and no post run commentary. Hiding something? More content more promotion for sponsors.
I think media is a bit of an after thought with this project, remember it was not so long ago we all thought the whole thing was going to go down the pan. I'm really hoping someone is documenting this project properly.
👍
I would be nice if upload the video with subtitles. Are you working to reach ... what speed?
500mph is the target for this test session. Then back to England to prepare for breaking the record next year. They went 461 this morning, but the second run was cancelled by the winds. Look for 500 within the next couple of days.
@@MX304 Great! Thank you! Whish you the best
It looks to me like a second or bigger drogue chute might more effectively and quickly stop yer rig.....if that works to your benefit.
Can we fast forward 2 weeks
Going thru procedures and looking good just need to bolt in the rocket for more power
Can we fund Flight Chops or Mikey McBrian to go out there and help with daily videos?
That parachute isn’t going to last long!
She looks a handful
how fast can it go with just the jet engine?
Agree, bit able to make out speech. Unless it was on purpose. I.e. Gosh this car is quite fast you know and accelerates rather well chaps!
Subtitles please!!!
I understand it's a bit breezy there .......but that thing looks worryingly unstable 🙈
That speed weave is nasty! Presumably she will settle down at the higher speeds?
Do you guys use any thrust vectoring to counter “side thrust” when applying steering angle?
Its only doing it because of the relative slow speeds....it was the same for SSC....
@0:46 Steering seem a little sensitive?
Seems like the driver has to work hard to keep the car on that white line. How's that going to work at top speed ?
Facts
A FISH CALLED TRUMP
I’m no aero guy or engineer but I’m thinking the car might actually wanna go straighter the faster it goes? Kinda like a bullet or arrow are much more stable at speed. I could be way off though.
Indeed, the speeds they are currently running at are predicted to be the least stable. Grip from the wheels is dropping off, but aerodynamic stability hasn't fully kicked in yet.
Goal is 1000 miles a hour? You've got a job to do
y dosent it go straight?
IT'S A RECORD!!!
nah just kidding.
#bbcclick did an item on improving audio supplementing the dead cat syndrome
All over the track like browns cows.
"got a chute that I did not expect" 1:05
There was not a chute malfunction.
@@dremwolf5419 You can clearly hear "not expect"
@@foghornleghorn8536 Guess the Bloodhound team is lying then in all their statements that Andy deployed the chute.
@@dremwolf5419 I'll go with the video you go with their statements.
Don't like the way this thing is weaving about. Hope this doesn't end badly at twice that speed and some. Is computer guided an option?
Really to bad that no one can understand Anything of the communications... Can the team?
Thats half the speed of sound
If he can't keep it straight at 380 then how is he going to do it at 1000?
Maybe don't overmodulate the audio?
What speed are they going for
Eventually (hopefully) 1000 mph.
That's 611.551 KPH. FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD. Only Americans who are behind in The Right measurements.
Get a drone and have an ariel view
Why so few views of this historic stuff ? Why nothing on mainstream media ?
Please improve the audio quality - can't understand a thing Andy is saying currently.
Nice car but nowhere to keep your groceries.
gretha wouldnt like this

Radio Shack speakers sound better than this
Fix the bloody audio already!!!!
Buy yourself a good TESLA AUTOPILOT .. you got a LOOSE NUT on the steering wheel
Stephen Mortimer hahaha
All that money, knowledge and technology and you can't figure out how to record audio properly. Very weak effort in that area. All radio audio as recorded for these videos so far is just useless and below amateurish
Rockets are more interesting when they’re pointing up
nowhere near as interesting when attached to car with a jet engine going 1000mph
Rocket hasn't been installed yet! This is just the jet engine.
Rather an ill informed, asinine comment regarding what is an increasingly absorbing venture
