When I met you at Goodwood and each time I hear you speak and explain things to us mere mortals you are so down to earth and level headed. You are are an inspiration and a legend - well done hats off to you Andy
He is a gentleman when you meet him away from the car - on his boat he is a total gent - wish there were more like him.
He's fine English stock.
Mad props to the Editor - brilliant use of the 360 camera!
Also, fantastic clear audio - very much hoping the team get on top of the distortion to the voices on the runs down the track. :)
@David David They'd certainly be a challenge, but the distortion to the voices, to my ear, sound more like the digital link back to the control station - like an MP3 with the bitrate set too low.
Maybe they need to swap from Engineers to Broadcast Techs, who deal with that sort of stuff every day.
The team replied to this in a facebook post, it's unlikely the comm sound will become better because the breathing/air mechanism inside the andy's helmet is accountable for a large part of the distortion.
if the distortion is likely to do with the breathing rig, is it not possible to add in a number of 'anti-sound' mics around the helmet/cockpit?
For example, when recording the sound of a bass drum, a clever sound tech would place a mic not only to the front of the drum, but to the rear also.
That way, it will enable them to mix up other mic channels in line with the main mic to achieve a richer sound experience.
Expanding on this, they will do similar with the vocals placing mics in the upper and lower quadrants of the vocal booth both front and rear also.
Tl;Dr: They need to get some sound techies in the case!
Great idea with the dedicated screens!
The first Speedometer you'll ever see that reads 0-1100mph....Superb!
As far as land speed records go the bloodhound team are showing warts and all. This is a first so the public can see what's been involved in building the car and running it. Fantastic stuff.
Love how Andy describes things, makes very clever stuff very accessible to the rest of us. Really neat video and great example of how to use 360 camera effectively.
reminds me of some advice I got about riding a motorcycle: All the (hand and foot) controls on the left are for changing gear, all the controls on the right are for changing speed.
I am thoroughly enjoying your updates.
Love the speedo that goes up to 1100 mph ! (just in case its a bit quicker than they thought LOL)
That would be good on a T-shirt.
If you are aiming for a 1,000mph LSR, the average speed in both directions it what counts, so you don't want it pegged at 1,000mph, nor do you want to still be accelerating at 1,050 when you already set 1,025 the other way.
So it actually makes sense for this to go up to 11 :-)
The more that I see the more I’m impressed.
I’ve flown for many, many years and I love this!
My Dad worked on Concord and he would love to see this pragmatic approach to a very serious project.
How many people would love to see the success of Bloodhound 👍👨✈️🚀
Peter Hammonds - Your dad wouldn’t have been too happy with you misspelling the name of his aircraft!
Atheist Orphan
You’re wrong it was originally called Concord in the U.K.
I know that for a fact, I have some of the original fuel systems from Concord, the name was changed to keep the French happy.
I’ll send you the proof if you don’t believe me.
My father also worked for Frank Whittle, correct spelling, perhaps!
However I like your attention to detail🛩😀
Peter
@@peterthepilot4413 It was originally spelled Concorde, changed to Concord, and then back to Concorde.
This is great info, brilliant that you’re doing so many updates for us. Thank you.
Nodding dog on the dash and fluffy dice are a must ! Lol .very best of luck 👍
Brilliant video! Always wanted a good cockpit tour of bloodhound
Very Impressive, thank You For The Tour Andy n God Bless All.
Brilliant informative footage, keep the updates coming.... best of luck team 🇬🇧
Nice!! Thanks for the tour!👍
Clear and logical layout. Speed concentrates one's focus. I don't want to say tunnel vision, but in the heat of the moment the driver/pilot needs to keep his eyes on the task. Having displays that will be used at speed straight ahead and controls where they can be found by muscle memory is the way to go. Doing practice runs helps train the mind to make the right control inputs without pausing to think or locate the control input.
Great video guys!
Very well presented . The video may be a first of it's kind. I don't recall seeing any similar cockpit tours of speed record vehicles. Keep it up guys.
You guys! And gals! I'm so excited to see y'all reach 1,000mph! You've done an incomprehensibly thorough job of keeping us up to date with every step of this insane process. You're creating history! So jazzed! Let's murder that LSR!
Great overview of the cockpit Andy...
Just an outstanding team effort. I wish you all the very best of British!
Wow, simply amazing! Loved the tour and the explanation of everything. Fantastic engineering to make everything set up just for how you want things. Love it!
Thanks for the office tour Andy, that's a good logical layout you've got there.
Can we see some of these readings in the run vids?
Its going to be pretty neat when you guys finally go for the official run/record. 😊
Superb interesting little. Update. Thanks!
Brilliant!
I love bloodhound lsr
Thanks for remembering Flanders Field.
Awesome, small shuttle :-)
Excellent little video. However unlike a tank bloodhound has no BV, therefore no tea making facility, this should be a major concern in my opinion 🤣.
Just stick a boiler inline with the gas re circulation channels for the afterburner. Cuppa Rosie Lee pronto.
Awesome!
It’s not like driving my Skoda then ha ha .great video thanks for sharing .👍🇬🇧🍺🤘
I want a Mach meter in MY car............!!!!
I guess so.
And I'll call my car Yaris LSR.
Yaris Low Speed Roadcar.............. ;-)
@@telescopereplicator
I actually fitted a pitot tube and a Machmeter to my mum's Volkswagen!
(This was decades ago, I was about 15 and I hadn't asked for permission.
)
To be fair, it did max out around 0.15 Mach.
Going at around 186 KMPH. Not bad...... :-)
@@telescopereplicator
Clarification: the meter maxed out at 0.15 by design, not my mother's driving!
Superb explanation of the car's cockpit, thanks. A HUD would 've cost too much I imagine? Nice to see the Machmeter front and centre. What is the highest Mach shown so far?
WHAT?
No ejection seat 💺?!!!!!
Gotta have a little red button on a stick
Lmao 😂
I’m so glad this car isn’t British enough to have the steering wheel on the right side.
Nor Irish of course..... Or Australian, New Zealand, Indian, Pakistani, Hong Kong, South African, Zimbabwean. Or any other country really because ITS IN THE MIDDLE !!!
*ahem* McLaren F1.
You are wearing your poppy.
For your next challenge Commander Green, flying around in a WWI fighter facing all manner of stuff that those planes had issues with. Weird controls thanks to gyroscopic effects, leaking gas tanks, shooting your opposing pilot with your service pistol, enemy fire, open cockpits, Lewis gun reloading while in-flight, and much more. :)
But where are the cup holders? Where do I plug my phone in?
Nice work on the camera for this one 👌not easy to film everything inside a tiny capsule.
Well said!!...................................... 👍.
The user is also the designer. Very handy.
hey guys...that HMI looks clean as!
what is it that you're using to produce that?
Off the shelf (licensed or open sourced?) or custom all the way?
#NerdStuff!
It's a shame you couldn't keep the Rolex gauges. But anyway great to see what it's all about!
Great video and use of a 360 camera but would have liked to see a bit more detail in the steering wheel and how to throttle up the engine
I hope the manual chute levers will stay even when the electronic system is up and running?
Absolutely science fiction to science fact well done guys . KISS philosophy ....Keep It Simple Stupid 👍 Genius
Keep It Super-Sonic ;)
What a fucking hero.
As a coward
I like the left hand side of the cockpit
I do not know if this was asked before, but how much fuel do the car use with each run?
I wonder how many Gs Bloodhound will be pulling during the record attempt? Not having to stretch to reach the controls could certainly come in handy - as they found with the X-15.
Andy has thought about it inside out years ago. He even fly a light aircraft with passenger demonstrating the G profile of Bloodhound run, simulating it with the aircraft. Look it up. 👍
Heard him say in another video its 2 g acce acceleration and 3g for deceleration but when theres a reversal from acc to dacc its harder on the body so could be a effective 5g sensation.
How does he control the rudder?
Why do you guys take the bloodhound apart and start next year? Is the season over? The weather? The finances?
Very informative, please note, it is not the "worlds fastest car", YET !
So when a doughnut comes out the bakers' it's not food... YET :-)
So where is the throttle for the EJ200 and the Nammo hybrid rocket motor ?
No ashtray or mobile phone holder... What a disgrace.
Good job Andy but how do u get in there?
He lives in there. They'll let him out once he's gone 1000mph ;-)
A handful of people are mentioning the Mercedes-Benz T80, but that is not a production car plus it was never driven. The Thrust SSC is not a production car either and calling it a car at all is a bit of a stretch. It is a land vehicle. A rocket with wheels.
Whatever happened to the Rolex speedo?
Any reason you're not using a Power distribution module instead of old school circuit breakers?
A PDM can monitor current flow and be programmed to act accordingly in any overload situation, for eg it can be programmed to "retry" the circuit as many times as you see fit (as well as many other things) in simple language even a dumb mechanic like me can understand lol. without you even having to touch it.. and it'll also save a boat load of weight not only in the module itself but in the wiring as well..
I worked with Bosch motorsport to fit out the Race To Recovery 4x4's with this kit for their Paris Dakkar race. Blown away by the ingenuity of it. Anything you can think of programming a button to do, you can pretty much do it and for multiples of functions.
And if I hit a bit of surface gravel, I can do a handbrake turn with this lever here....
Damn, what happened to the Rolex speedometer and clock???🙁
Isn't a bit presumptuous calling this vehicle the worlds fastest car in the title? I believe that's still the Thrust SST isn't it. Same pilot, different car.
Well.... So far in testing its only 262mph slower than his last car.!!
to complicate is easy
to simplify is hard
Where's the CD player!? HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 🤣
Andy, a question hoping you can answer...............Putting it delicately, with your age do your eyes suffer from Presbyopia, i.e. ability to focus near. I'm thinking of how everything is so close to you in the cockpit.
No Rolex sponsoring anymore... Very cosy cockpit.
whats the gauge at 2.20 with the needle in the red and not the green?
It reads the total weight and mass of Andy's Bollocks.!! ;)
I've read that Andy Green has the callsign 'dead dog'. Does anyone know the story behind that (assuming it's true to begin with)?
Mad dog is what I've heard.
Until it breaks 763 mph, it's not the world's fastest car.
@@TheTazzietiger I can't wait to see it. Records are meant to be broken. Do you know how fast it can go with the current jet engine before they switch to a rocket?
Furry dice? Air freshener? Satnav?
Anglus microphone!
Anglus - choke? Vanity mirror?
Now I want an Andy Green voiced satnav voice. Imagine the calm. Not even rush hour driving would phase you.
Ferocious Mullet - He was AMAZINGLY calm back in ‘97 when during a test run both his main AND backup parachutes failed: “OK backup failed, gonna be a long break run this.” I would have been been screaming for Mummy!
@@AtheistOrphan Gotta admit I have been a huge fanboy of Andy Green for a long time. The dude is the absolute epitome of 'The right stuff'. Dudes a calm as a cucumber and obviously deeply capable. But also very charismatic and charming. And yes you are so right that moment is spine tingling.
Just a shame that the flicker rate is the same as fps front dash is just flickering away when on a run....
What are air brakes? Are they a reverse thruster of sorts?
They're metal flaps that come out from the bodywork, you can see them really clearly (folded in to the body) in some of the other footage (the big black sections with holes in them in front of the rear wheels) ua-cam.com/video/GeetfRqS3IM/v-deo.html
do you have an accelerator pedal?
I'm pretty sure there is one.
Yes, with additional detent for engaging the reheat/afterburner
@1:09 immobiliser's still on lol
Looks like a hamster has gone through the windscreen 🤭
If Richard Hammond drove it that would probably happen.
Toms Tech wait a minute is it Richard Hammond 😂
GPS is a Red arrow
what a shame the rolex gauges are gone
Sooo...do you double as UBER ? I need a ride to micky D's if so.
Please design my next car!
Its not the fastest yet... But hope to f^^k it will be! Andy Green has balls of steel!!!
Where is the throttle?
What became of the Rolex clocks
David Taysom They must have pulled their sponsorship of the project!?
@@porkscratchings4877 I guess they must have
Great Camera movement!
But you can look more into the camera 📹
Are you a director?
@@neomatrix3612 no, but i have a UA-cam channel (not this account) and know a lot of things like that.
Looking in to a 360 degree camera,... would be like being an inch off the lens of a 12mm - the shape of his head would look wrong, and would take the viewers concentration away from what Andy was presenting.
As a Live TV Director, I would have dropped in a couple of looks to the B-roll camera, but nothing to the 360 deg cam.
@@markd.9422 OK cool :)
I'm guessing the furry thing is a mic or a lucky gonk?!
why not a pdm instead of standard circuit breakers? cheers from Italy
remember when you were a kid and looked through car windows at the speedos to see how fast they went......"no really it goes 1100mph"......"don't be so stupid, learn to read!!"
I was impressed until I saw it had no hooter? What kind of car has no hooter?
Neo Matrix by the time you have seen them you have gone through them so no need
He has a frikken rocket instead!
@@Akm72 haha ok, will let it slide.
@@gtisid very true :)
@@neomatrix3612 You'll note that he also lacks a sunroof, towbar for a caravan, roof rack, LED lights underneith and a go-faster stripe!
Where's the air conditioning?
Does anyone know if the Bloodhound will be fitted with the front and rear canards (fins)
I'm assuming this set of runs is to evaluate the aerodynamics of the car without, then they'll be added for the record attempts to correct for any undesirable aerodynamic loads discovered on the car.
That's just me speculating though, I don't actually know
But certainly I'd imagine one of the deliverables for these high speed trials is to validate their CFD models
Andrew Bailey
Bloodhound is already touching the boundaries without them my concerns they need them on for a true analysis simply to establish the effects of drag and downward forces on the track.
Also the same run may throw other issues with soft intermittent track bed ? Canards on could put pull the Bloodhound down hard and course steering problems?
I have two models of the Bloodhound one with them on and one without and they both perform totally different on the steering side .
When I activate the rockets with the one without canards ,I have almost no control from my Radio control unit ,but the second one with the fins I have a 65% control.
If you check my channel you can see the models but no videos of the runs only early stuff but I will be running them both soon . They are only rough take on the Bloodhound however they both in my opinion are different on performance
"world's fastest car" clearly not superstitious.
Let Richard Hammond drive it
Yeah, simple in your mind Andy, but a total goddamn meltdown for any normal human sat in that car the speeds you will be doing.....
It's not the worlds fastest car yet. I'm glad it was rescued from the scrap pile though.
i wanna see it goes 5000 mph
Where are the furry dice?
@02:42 - screen top right underwear status warning light
well.... it's not the world's fastest car yet
First
..........and not a single cup holder. ;-)
