As an added attraction for the day the Bloodhound SSC (super-sonic car) was represented at the day. This vehicle is aiming to break the land speed record, raising it from the current 763 mph (1228 kph) figure up to 1000 mph (mach 1.4).
As the organisers say, Building a car quicker than a fighter jet is not, however, the primary goal of the project. Rather, it is to inspire future generations to take up careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics by showcasing these subjects in the most exciting way.
The exhibition area for the car, not only showed a vehicle, but it also showed the engine that will be used, as well as the fuel pump - a 4.5 litre racing car engine capable to developing 620 shaft horse power.
In all this looked to be a very interesting project, and one we undoubtedly hear more about.
