this is the bloodhound land speed record
car the most advanced straight line
racing car ever created designed to be
capable of traveling ultimately at 1,000
miles an hour
this is where I operate the car from as
the driver I'm looking after the
steering monitoring the engines the
electronics the hydraulics that the
brakes the parachutes everything is
controlled from in there that is the
nerve center of the car
[Music]
when I'm driving it it feels
unbelievably fast the ground just gets
faster and faster and faster through
three hundred four hundred five hundred
miles an hour and he just keeps coming
the wheels are made from solid aluminium
they're designed to rotate a hundred and
seventy times a second and survive
forces of fifty thousand times the force
of gravity at the wheel rim the reason
we have to use solid wheels there is no
kind of rubber tire ever created that
will survive that kind of load the only
way to reach a thousand miles an hour is
to use the best technology from
everywhere we can find it including the
jet engine the car is powered by a
combination of a jet engine this year
and jet and rocket next year the jet
engine we have is the rolls-royce ej200
the Eurofighter Typhoon engine the most
high-powered sophisticated and most
importantly for me the safest jet engine
in the history of military aviation
