1:33 The dug in camera did not let you down, the car made the exactly the same sound that you would hear if you asked a 5 year old kid what a jet powered car would sound like at 500 MPH. In fact I already know what it is going to look like at 1000 MPH, I just played the video back a 2X speed! :-)
This is absolutely magical! I have been an avid fan of these speed records ever since I had the top-trumps version back in the 80's. It gives me goosebumps every time I see a run. I'll be supporting you all the way!
Been following this from the beginning. A very young Dr Ben Evans (computer fluid dynamics guru at Swansea Uni) gave a guest lecture in our department in 2010. Almost a whole decade on I am just so very happy that this incredible project is finally on its way. Go for it!
"i've had a word with Andy about that" ...you're a very naughty boy! ...amazing additional camera angle, thanks for the update, wait patiently now everyday for more news...
Matt Hatter Andy is quite a tall chap, so there are probably quite a few Americans that would fit.When Craig Breedlove first met Andy at Black Rock he said something about him being a big guy and Andy replied "That's alright, we've got a big car" referring to Thrust SSC.
Thank you guys for your most informative feedback, its been fantastic!! I'm a member of the Royal Air Force Officers Club, Johannesburg. Many of our members have been keenly following your brilliant footage - it's been great. V best of luck with the next runs, especially look forward to Bloodhound breaking the sound barrier!
Love that additional camera! Seeing the car go by was amazing--can tell there is major speed going on compared to previous videos. Thanks for showing footage from that aspect. Not even mentioned is that this kind of speed for just testing is higher than only a couple people in the world have ever gone. Also like the camera in the cockpit. While everything is being taken into consideration for Andy's safety, it's obvious they any mishap at these speeds and future higher speeds will result in disaster. Thanks for making sure the highest priority is his safety every inch of the way
Wow incredible shots particularly the dug in camera. I remember Thrust SSC and a fabulous two part documentary that covered Thrust when Richard Noble drove and Thrust SSC with Andy Green driving. Richard Noble's book "Thrust" is a terrific read.
Maybe a redesign of the wheel delta area? That could ruin a proper timed run next year otherwise. I'm sure you guys have long since had that planned of course. Really enjoying these updates so thanks everyone.
Superb! Love the footage from the dug in cam. I’ve got used to F1 cars going past fixed cams. Bloodhound LSR is next level. Volume has to be set to 11. Keep up the brilliant British engineering chaps.
Great camera shot. It's asking a lot but several of them dotted down the track would show us speed growth plus deceleration with a chute flapping about. That was by far the best footage you have captured so far.
Nice to see lots of footage of the car at speed. This is a well-balanced video; speed and explanation. And it was a good idea of another commenter to run it at twice normal speed to see what a 1000mph run will look like.
Well done to the Bloodhound LSR team. Proud moment for collaboration between England and South Africa on such an amazing feat. Goes to show that despite the Webb Ellis trophy belonging to South Africa for the next 4 years at least, it is still possible for the two countries to come together to do something truly mind blowing.
Really pleased to see the progress being made out in SA at the moment...following updates regularly. I've long said that this should have been backed by the government and receiving public funding from way back - showcasing the UK's engineering and technical prowess, inspiring future generations, there is so much to be gained from groundbreaking projects such as this. Boris Johnson's failed Garden Bridge ate up £53m, £43m of which was from public funds. I would far rather have seen that £43m diverted to Bloodhound - imagine where we'd be with it now? And at least we'd have something to show for the money... Thank you and good luck to all at Bloodhound LSR for continued progress in these tests...onwards and upwards to a successful record attempt next year. You're making us proud every day!
I read a while back that this project had fallen apart due to lack of funding or something like that. Good to see that its still active and improving, amazing work.
Supporter Phil Austin here in Portugal. Great video and update. That's a lot of debris being thrown up. It's no wonder there's some damage being caused. It must be like driving through a sand blaster.
This is superb. Brilliant footage both from the drone on launch and from the buried action camera. Magnificent. They both give a brilliant sense of the power and speed of Bloodhound. A bit alarming to see Andy have to take his eyes off the course by such a margin at one point during the on-board footage but I am guessing that it was after engine throttle back so the action was a little less frenetic at that point? I have to thank everyone for putting out this series of remarkable and thoroughly enjoyable videos. Please keep it up.👍👍
True speed demons and pioneers breaking into new frontiers for mankind. Enjoy watching you guys pushing the limits of machinery. Bloodhound SSC will be an absolute marvel when it is finally ready. God be with you all through this incredible journey.
@@TinyBearTim I would argue that delays in development are a result of a lack of funding, not the other way around. The recent change in management and massive steps forward have proven that. For me, the idea that this team is somehow under-performing is ridiculous on its face. You are welcome to your opinon though...
@@TinyBearTim These days, this is the nature of the LSR. The North American Eagle team was working on an 800mph target for 20 years mainly due to insufficient funding (prior to losing Jessi Combs RIP) The stalwart of past USA LSR attempts, Craig Breedlove had to give up his project due to lack of funding. He sold it to Steve Fossett in 2007 who renamed it Sonic Arrow before he was killed in an air crash - that car never saw a serious attempt and still languishes waiting for funding. The Aussies have a project waiting in the wings called Aussie Invader 5R that has been a work in progress for 10 years now.
@@TinyBearTim bit harsh, obviously you know far more than I about building a car to reach 1000mph. I think noble then green breaking and holding the outright speed record suggests they know what their doing, plus having to prostitute themselves to raise funds. Have some decency man. PS history is full of inventors having no funding but still persuing for years. Its having the foresight to understand. If the RAF and others understood or had the foresight we would have had jets flying several years earlier.
Wondering if you could put gel into those holes on the air brakes to catch the dust and dirt. I think NASA was catching space dust in gel a few years ago, so they could monitor the force they entered the section of craft at (the air brake here) etc.
Well done. New LSR looks achievable in 2020, but it's somewhat terrifying to think that the "maximum design speed" of 1000mph is more than twice what we're seeing here!!!
Absolutely loving this play by play testing guys. Dont have the technical ability to understand the daily issue’s you face but that sound is enough to make the hairs on your neck stand up.
0530 Blighty. Yet again rushing in from work to see the latest news/updates, already feeling the emotion....1k won't be long now I'll hazard. Best wishes
I lived to see the sound barrier broken. Apparently I was the only guy that responded the way I did. This time I'll try not to go quite as nuts. We create our own luck with diligence and hard work, From what I see that makes all of you incredibly lucky.
I was a member of the Mach 1 club that provided some of the funding when Thrust SSC broke the sound barrier in 1997 but was so underwhelmed by Andy Green's response to it all that it completely put me off any more attempts in the future and I have no interest in any of this now! Come on Andy Green, show a little pride in your achievements!
Fun fact, seeing as the target speed is roughly twice the speed they achieved in this footage - you can put the playback speed to X2 to see what it the final run might look like!
Great Job Team Bloodhound for British Pride . Just coming up on my Hero Kitty O,Neil's Woman's record of 512.7 mph of 1976 which she still owns .Sadly Film Director Al Needham dialed the power down for Her second run to bring down the Average after Kitty said She felt She could take it past 700 mph and claim the Outright record .Kitty was hoping Jessi Combs would go faster but sadly Jessi died trying .I am sure Kitty gave Jessi a hug waiting on the other side . Kitty passed away last year still owning many speed records including the will never be beaten standing 1/4 Mile record of 3.22 seconds to 412 mph also set in the 70,s . Just thought i would share this here as not many remember or know about Brave Kitty .
Love the footage of the dug in camera! Brilliant! Go, Bloodhound, go! :)
That was very cool! Watch that clip in slo-mo and you can really see the rear deltas getting hammered by the front wheel wake.
@@MX304 Like a shot blast laser! No doubt they're working on it.

Awesome sound isn't it?!
About to do just that.👌
That was even better at a 2x speed. Not often you get to say that on here
Just need to add the rocket then ... that's got to bring chaos to the airstream
This is absolutely magical! I have been an avid fan of these speed records ever since I had the top-trumps version back in the 80's. It gives me goosebumps every time I see a run. I'll be supporting you all the way!
Mapantz1 Couldn't agree more!
I didn't expect that much play on the steering wheel, especially at that speed.
at 500mph a fraction of a second is 200 meters off line...big input for small movement at these speeds.
If you watch the Thrust SSC video on the Bloodhound channel, it's explained in detail.
That dug-in camera is awesome! Really shows the speed.
Even more so once they start doing supersonic runs

Yeah wtf Andy get your shit together.. 500 he said, not 491, 495 or 499, 500 damnit!
His spoon was causing too much drag.

I've been watching you guys since the beginning years ago Good luck Godspeed You're looking cracking. From New Mexico USA
Hey you hit trending! Good job, this kinda stuff deserves to be on there.
Blimey, that's nearly as fast as my ex wife used to drive chasing her next boyfriend.
Tricky Dicky 😂
So happy to see this project back up and running again. Road to 1000mph starts once again!!
I’m enjoying your daily updates. I grew up in the days of Craig Breedlove and Art Arfons and this project is enthralling. Thanks!

So pleased to be watching this project come to fruition.
Great to see the car running and real progress being made! Keep up the hard work team.
That camera angle of him cruising by was awesome!!
Im here for it all !
Brilliant camera angles and sounds on this new run! All the best for the next one!
That low angle shot is NUTS!!! Very cool!
This is the ultimate rush. Incredible. Bring it on !
Excellent video guys. The camera in the sand provided brilliant footage, as did the drone shot at the start. Keep it up!!
Calm, understated and utterly professional. All part of growing up and being British.

Hold my Nitro Methane; strolls at 500mph.
That camera fly by was amazing, the speed is unreal and that is less than half the speed it’s aiming for!! Incredible.
