Car or plane, what an incredible piece of engeering, it shows that the uk still has some of the best engineers in the world. I heard from Somewhere that it uses the equivlent or a family size car engine just to power the fuel pumps but that could have been exaggerated 2nd Hand info lol. Can't wait to see this thing attempt the record just hope nothing goes wrong. I remember watching thrust SSC break the sound barrier when I was just 8 years old. Can't believe in 18 years it still hasn't been beaten.

It was going to be a cosworth F1 engine powering the fuel pump for the rocket......but now it's a jag engine.

 

The pump has to transfer nearly a tonne of fuel in less than 20 seconds!!!

 

I've been following the project for a while now.....been really interesting to watch and the bloodhound team's interaction with the public on forums like pistonheads has been great.
