His car has received the name after the famous British rocket. Novelty collect British engineers and will test pilot Andy Green . He first showed reporters looks like driver's cabin " Bloodhound ": " Here it is , the cabin of this unique machine. From here, it is here , I will start to accelerate to thousands of miles per hour . See , what a great wheel , more precisely, the steering wheel - just for my hands . It is made of titanium alloy . and yet there are three liquid crystal display . and measuring instruments - speedometer clock and produced by " Rolex " .
Accuracy for this machine - one of the most important requirements. "
Usually development of this scale until recently kept secret. Command that creates " Bloodhound " , went the other way : each development phase , each stage of the test , all the design solutions available on the Internet highlights . And this information is completely free.
Moreover, engineers and designers involved in the project " Bloodhound " , go to lectures on British schools. Why - To interest teenagers and maybe push them towards technical careers . Project leader Richard Noble explains: " Our country needs 100,000 engineering graduates a year. We also still get three times less. Shortages are becoming palpable. I think that should start vocational guidance guys so since elementary school. They need to show to tell ... here so they really interested . "
Machine that is capable to develop a speed fighter - undoubtedly successful " visual aid " for future engineers. During the year, " Bloodhound " will be ready to travel to South Africa , where he will be tested for the development of the maximum speed of the car - a thousand miles per hour .
