More information about the 1000mph car: Bloodhound SSC

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the British team that is attempting to build a car to break the 1000 mph mark. This supersonic car is to be called the Bloodhound SSC.

So I was pleased to see the mainstream UK media publishing the following story.

This piece is actually written by John Piper who is the engineering director for Bloodhound SSC. He talks about some of the challenges they are facing in terms of the stability of the structure of the car due to the immense forces it will be subjected to.

He talks about using a diffuser to stabilise the car and it is the use of this bit of technology which is causing all the arguments amongst Forumla 1 teams right now.
