Aerohub at Newquay Cornwall Airport is an exciting UK Enterprise Zone found on a state-of-the-art civilian airport. Aerohub will be the home for Bloodhound's rocket and car testing.
Aerohub offers an exceptional aviation environment, with one of the longest runways in the UK, uncongested airspace, and access to an extensive funding programme, making it the best place in Europe for aerospace and related industries.
Piece by piece, BLOODHOUND SSC is coming together. While the process is slow, it’s exciting to see more bits of the Car working for the first time, ready to start testing the Car later on this year.
It’s been an interesting start to the New Year, with various bits of the Car being tested as we slowly get BLOODHOUND SSC ready to run. We’ve still got a long way to go, but it’s terrific to see systems being assembled for final installation in the most advanced straight-line racing car ever.
The BLOODHOUND Team are at Newquay Airport to test the Fuel Systems for the EJ200 Jet Engine - they need to simulate the G forces the jet fuel will face at 1000mph by tilting the lower chassis to an angle of 60 degrees. Find out how they got on in this episode of Cisco BLOODHOUND TV.
A key milestone in the development of BLOODHOUND SSC as testing and development work recommences at the Aerohub, Newquay.
I was lucky enough to spend a couple of days in India this month with the ‘GREAT Britain’ Campaign, supporting the India/UK TECH Summit. It was a very high-powered event, with opening speeches by Prime Minister Modi of India and the UK Prime Minister Theresa May.
