The lower rear chassis story

Engineering and Product Sponsorship Lead Conor La Grue reports on the build of BLOODHOUND's rear lower chassis:

It has been an incredibly exciting period for all the team as the rear lower chassis has been completed. This was the culmination of 30 months of effort by a huge number of individuals and companies and I have to start by saying - thanks Team!  The build of BLOODHOUND SSC is utterly dependent on the huge value brought by our Product Sponsors that are helping bring this car to life.

Richard Noble's Diary - May 2013 Update

Towards the end of last month I asked Andy what he thought of the Bloodhound engineering since he has been able to attend most of the engineering meetings right from the very start of the project: ‘It's very very good, it’s a very fine car and it’s going to achieve its objectives.’

Andy Green’s Diary – May 2013

Great news this month – we’ve just announced a fantastic new sponsor. For the first time in the company’s history, Rolls-Royce is sponsoring a World Land Speed Record project. Its engines have been used since the early days of record breaking, and they created what was probably the most successful record power-plant ever: the 37-litre, V-12 ‘Type R’, which became the only engine in history to set Air, Water and Land Speed Records in the 1930s.

I want to be ...

Building the future takes people. People brave enough, tenacious enough, dedicated enough to go the distance. To try over and over again to find new solutions to the world's changing needs. And to succeed. Building the future takes engineers.

"Bloodhound SSC is a unique, cutting edge engineering project that captures people's imaginations. Vitally, however it's being used to inspire young people about engineering and to consider engineering careers. It's not just rocket science -- it's true engineering innovation."
Andrew Medd, FIMechE
