The fastest car in the world ready to set a new record
Source:
In 2015, the British company Bloodhound SSC , which is able to accelerate to 1287 kilometers per hour. Unfortunately, after the presentation of the superfast cars, the company abruptly ran out of money and she demonstrated her abilities. In 2018, the company went bankrupt, but it is suddenly saved by a businessman named Ian Warhurst, which recently hired a new team of workers and has announced the date long-awaited high-speed-in — October 2019.
The Car went on a speed pad in 2017, but only overclocked to 338 kilometers per hour than the few who could surprise. Now the new car owners renamed it the Bloodhound LSR, and intend to overclock it to 960 kilometers per hour. The test will be held in Africa, at the bottom of a dry lake in the Kalahari desert — there is a spacious paved the route length of 18 kilometers.
the fastest car
The length of the Bloodhound LSR car is 12.9 meters, a width of 2.5 meters and a height of 3 meters. Total weight is 6.4 tons but despite the great weight, the car is quite able to gain greater speed due to the special shape of the hull. If necessary, the machine can be equipped with rocket engines.
During the October test of the fastest car will be devoid of rocket engines — first, the company wants to test it at relatively low speeds. If all goes well, the rocket engines will be installed in 2020, and even then the supersonic car will gain the coveted 1287 kilometers per hour.
best driver for high-speed-in
For the race, the company had to look for the maximum experienced driver. The choice fell on the driver Andy green, who in 1997 established a speed record car Thrust SSC. Since it is known that at extremely high speeds car wheels quickly lose traction and the process becomes similar to driving on slippery, icy surfaces.
At the time of arrival we'll find out how well we set up the car. This experiment will show you how you can control the transport at different speeds, said driver Andy green.
Not only that, the pilot of a supersonic machine will have to maintain control over the movement, so he will also have some way to slow down. It is expected that the stop of the machine will proceed in three stages: first, the speed will drop to 965 kilometers per hour with air brakes, then the car will slow down due to braking parachute. Disc brakes are used in conventional vehicles will be used only at speeds below 400 miles per hour.
Racer Andy green, the fastest car Thrust SSC
speed Record by car
As mentioned above, the highest speed on the car was achieved in 1997 by racing driver Andy green car Thrust SSC. With two turbofan engines typically used in passenger aircraft, it accelerated to 1000 kilometers per hour in just 16 seconds. The record was set at the bottom of a dry lake in the American desert black Rock, where there are 21 km of track.
