Secondary STEM. Engineering the Physics. The bloodhound SSC project. 1
Description
Building a car to break the world land speed record attempt has brought enormous challenges to the British Bloodhound engineering team. They've had to go back to basics to understand the maths and physics involved in accelerating a car to 1000mph over a measured mile and land a place in history. RAF fighter pilot and Bloodhound driver Wing Commander Andy Green takes Bloodhound engineer Annie Berrisford for the flight of her life in his aerobatic training plane to demonstrate the problems of g-force he'll experience during the record attempt. Meanwhile at the University of Swansea, we see the work underway on how to design the shape of a car that will cut through the air at 1000 miles an hour while remaining on the ground.
