Vehicle Technical Specification

Summary

This document is to provide a top-level (vehicle level) source of design specification, targets, design assumptions and design status for the BLOODHOUND Project.

It is intended to provide a common source of data for the engineering team and to provide a means of monitoring design maturity at various stages of the project.

The document is not intended to replace system or sub-system specifications, but it is meant to encapsulate or refer to them.

The BLOODHOUND Project’s objective is to instil enthusiasm in Engineering in Britain by obtaining the World Land Speed Record as safely and cost effectively as possible.  To that end targets are set in this document and are meant to be the current design intention.  These targets may be varied from time to time via a relevant engineering meeting in order to take advantage of opportunities or risks as they become apparent.

This document is continually updated and new versions will be issued periodically.
