The problem is those including Craig breedloves (the spirit of America) car (that was disqualified) that he entered into the land speed record car event which means it has to have 4 wheels not 3. The 3 wheeled vehicles now have their own class so unless your vehicle has 4 wheels it can not attain a record in that class of 4 wheeled cars that the thrust SSC holds the record for.

@@lucasvanhamburg4937 Why? The Isreali Defense Force flew a mission up the Bakka Valley some years ago, led by a female Colonel of their Air Force- a half dozen planes, in line behind that female colonel took out 70+% of the Hezbollah air defense systems- at somewhere over the speed of sound and less than a thousand feet from the ground. The medicine says women handle G force better than men- it's a "biological thing"- sorta makes up for all the other superiority myths you've been brought up on, doesn't it?Actually, looking at your name,I suspect you should take up the qualifications of women with Angela Merkel- even if you don't agree with all of her politics, you have to respect her ability; those who haven't aren't much around the Bundestag any more. In Jessi Combs case, she was fully licensed and certified, the car was inspected and cleared by very skilled technicians of the sanctioning body, not the American Eagle team. In her early teens, she was doing things with dirt bikes that boys six to ten years older couldn't- and i rather doubt you could now. I'm not family, and I never met the lady, but I was deeply impressed by what she did, time after time. BTW, it is thought she hit a rock and lost surface contact- there is both the sanctioning bodies report and the County Sheriff's if you want to dig.
i didn't even know that she broke a land speed record, let alone she was trying to break a land speed record. she used to be on the power block on spike. always thought that she was a good looking lady. that's too bad.
And of course, as we now know, apart from breaking the sound barrier the most difficult thing is getting to the end of the measured mile without the text on your vehicle being turned back to front or is it inside out.
heh once me and a coworker "raced" on a freeway, his shitbox 90s civic and my 90 corolla, we hit about 90 and were neck and neck, looked at each other with instant regret and slowed down, was terrifying XD

4:55 omg it's so weird and harder to understand when the speed is not on the x axis. This way it would be more straightforward that the air resistance exponentially increases with the speed
I remember the Discovery Channel special on the Thrust SSC back in the day. All the struggles, the danger involved. It was very, very hard to pull that off. The driver was a former Royal Air Force pilot if I'm not mistaken, and the project manager was the former driver of the Thrust, which held the world record at the time, getting close to the speed of sound, but not over it.
Yup ... I'm old enough to remember when Richard Noble smashed the world land speed record in Thrust 2, which I got to see in person, in a vehicle museum, iurc, in Coventry. Aside from that, it was notable for the fact that Jaguar took one of the fastest coupé at the time (XJS ?), and turned it into the world's fastest 'fire engine' (OK, more like a car out fitted with a big enough tank for fire suppression), just in case Thrust 2 crashed ... I still have a vague visually memory of watching it power across the dry lake bed, the mirage effect making it look like it _was_ travelling across water, with a huge 'roosters' tail of dust, right behind it ... When Trust SSC came around, by then he knew he was a touch too old to drive it. Though he was a key figure in the project, even he would say he had a more hands off rôle than portrayed, but given he _did_ practically hold the land speed record for the longest time, he appreciated actually being bought on-board. As for the driver of Thrust SSC, if memory recalls, not only was he an retired RAF Squadron Leader (the equivalent to a Major in both the Army, and Royal Marines; and Lt. Commander in the Royal Navy - making him a NATO OF-3), but he was a Sqn Ldr of the Red Arrows, the RAF's Display Team, making him a man formerly in charge of one of the world's elite aerobatic display teams, requiring an insane level of skill just to be even considered to join them, as even a few seconds miss-timing can end in serious crashes, during air displays. I wish I could remember that pilot's name, as he - rightfully - deserves recognition for being the first person to drive faster than Mach 1, which would've pushed even his skills to the limit ... ... but seeing an aerial photo of Thrust SSC, a clear line, caused by the supersonic shock wave spreading laterally across the salt/sand, is still an incredible image ... ... hence I can't wait to see what Bloodhound can do, at maximum throttle ...
@@nigelft The driver of ThrustSSC was Andy Green. He's also the driver of Bloodhound LSR. But he'll be 60 years old this year, so maybe not such a great idea?
@@nigelft Same!! As a kid fascinated in all things 'car', we had a school trip to Coventry Motor Museum - after showing a documentary on Thrust 2, they rolled back the curtains and there it was - Thrust 2 !!! I was blown away! Those things really stick in a kids mind and is largely why I am now an engineer. Thrust 2 - Richard Noble Thrust SSC - Wing Commander Andy Green Thrust Bloodhound - Wing Commander Andy Green
I attended an educational show as an HP consultant for scientific calculators on 2012. At that time, the Bloodhound LSR project was being introduced as the SSC. So I took that project as my presentation theme. After thoroughly studying math involved and running several calculations, I arrived at a speed figure of 1058.8 mph if the trial run was performed at 30 degrees Celsius ambient temperature and the 794-meter elevation at Hakskeen Pan. I figured that the combined power available from the jet engine - rocket motor combination amounted to over 100,000 horsepower to overcome the 19-ton drag force exerted over the car body. However, I could not consider the second-order effects stemming from the supersonic shock wave, being that the nonlinear analysis can not be undertaken without the aid of advanced hydrodynamic software.
My favorite thing about this channel is how guys who seem like they can be a bunch of kyles, are actually really smart and passionate about what they talk about so they do the math. And then they break it down in a way that makes it easy for a Kyle (Sort of) like myself can understand.
You guys did a really good job with this. I've worked and drag racing on and off for a long time and this is a great way for people who like all types of different cars or think one time is better than another to really learn a lot and put things in proper perspective. Nice!
You guys make it so much easier for non car guys (like me) to understand, also, I've been learning alot about fluid dynamics, and how it applies to air, never thought the two with the same.
Someday I'm going to market air as "Water Light" and convince everyone they need to consume eight glasses of it per day, and that it's cleaner straight out of plastic.
as a mechanical engeneer myself, i would like to add that going over 300mph (500kmh) is already an acomplishment. i have never phisically participated in the creation of any super car or anything like that, but on my free time i tried to design (as a self challenge) a internal combustion-propeled "as fast as i can for the memes" car, and boy was it a failure, yes, my engine theorically works, and my body design is oddly efficient at dispelling drag, but that thing even on the simulations cannot achive it's theoricall top speed (325mph, 520kmh), i have managed to run it at about 300 mph (480ish kmh, got lazy to do the convertions, lol), and that was by replacing the drivier with a IA driver instead of a human (simulated) driver. i have abandoned the project for now, but here's a summary of all the things that i have to fix: -the engine displaces too much residual gas, blowing up the whole turbo system, tried to replace it with superchargers, they got ripped appart. -if the turbos explodings don't blow up first, they melt down from the increase of heat due exsesive preasure. -i have not found yet the right alghorithm to make the smart surfaces correctly adjust for the drag at low speeds (but that's just me not knowing how to code properly) -belive it or not wheel traction plays a huge part on acceleration, at nearly about 1.8k hp, the force transmited to the ground from the wheels is so high that one out of two things always happens; car does minihops off the ground making the ride rock around making it near imposible to drive, or the wheels have differential traction, making my build turn from a car into world's lamest-but-cool-looking bayblade (again making it near imposible to control). moral of the story, just because the math checks out doesn't reallity does too.
@@GameOver-nm2us oh hey, thanks, but i must confess that i have been working on that since i was a teenager, so not that impressive under the context that it took me well over a decade to do it all. Project is still halted as I've lost interest for now, might take it up again some day in the future, but like i said, simulations differ from real world, in the real world 2k hp engines need to be rebuilt after each use as they thorn apart themselves after a few seconds of max power output.
@@thedinastyguild yes but you could use electrical motors as an example. Idk why but I have the urge to make you continue the project and finish it. Also idc if you've been working on it since you were a teenager, that's still sick
Yep, it makes cars like the Bugatti Chiron look REALLY impressive that they actually manage to control all of these forces for real. Incredible German engineering, as always.

FASCINATING! When I was a kid, learning what a socket wrench was, I saw an article about Mickey Thompson: He had, "The Challenger" which had a fuel-injected 421 Pontiac engine at EACH WHEEL! He set the record, but it was somewhere in the 400 MPH range.
This was an awesome episode, I know it’s hard to continue to come up with new videos and I can imagine the concern of people will like new videos or not and this one was a winner. I think experimenting and trying new things is what’s going to keep this channel, especially when it’s teaching us! Keep it up!
Great insight on land speed record attempts. One clarification: Following Scott Kalitta's fatal crash in 2008, Top Fuel and Funny Car's only race 1000ft instead of a 1/4mile in competition.
This made me think of what the environment must have been like when breaking the sound barrier....that quote specifically. "Later, I realized that the mission had to end in a let-down because the real barrier wasn't in the sky but in our knowledge and experience of supersonic flight." -Chuck Jager Fair winds and following seas, sir!
@@ghostrider-be9ek right? Shit, the Chiron needed special one time tires to hit over 300mph because pressure in them get too high. Imagine the stress the crank goes through at double that speed without actual tires to absorb it. Rockets pump water under them during launch so the acoustics don’t tear it apart, imagine a poor car going through the sound barrier at sea level. By comparison density is at 1,000 millibars at sea level. At 18,000 feet it’s less than half (cruising altitude), at 100,000 feet it’s only about 10. So over twice the air resistance on land...if it’s not too hot...and while keeping traction the whole time.
Yeah there was a doco about the Thrust SSC and that was one of the problems they had, the car was literally ripping itself apart as it went down the track
@@makantahi3731 Indeed ... Just the engineering behind making the solid billets, iirc, from a very carefully controlled alloy; heat treating it; tempering it back; then machining it to insane tolerances, was all a nightmare by itself. Even the rocket motor, which provides the secondary power, ontop of the jet engine, to push it past 830mph, took several iterations. And the twin analogue dials, built by Rolex, just in case of both primary, and secondary, electronic systems fail, took alot of effort to build, as not even the watches that the Apollo astronauts wore were subjected to the same calculated g-forces those two dials will experience at maximum thrust ... imagine building a mechanical watch that can operate with a shock loading of 8g+, abet able to maintain the same precision of timing ... ... that's how difficult building Bloodhound is, and why it has suffered setbacks, and delays, as all the teams involved, are quite literally pushing the envelope, as they are, essentially, building a fighter jet with the express purpose of _not_ taking off, even though it would be travelling, iirc, somewhere between V1, and Vr ...
@@nigelft that’s nuts, I didn’t not know that but I appreciate the information. Very interesting stuff and the way you present it too. This is something I’ll probably never forget.
Bloodhound has an SRB, that's how it goes so fast. They Jet Engine until they hit the limit of the Jet, then SRB it up from there. The SRB sits along the bottom of the car, under the Jet Engine.
I have watched and taken into account all the factors mentioned in the quest for 1000 mph, as depicted by your excellent explanation, and I have the following question: "Was the yellow liquid tasty?"

The thrusts SSC beat breedloves record anyway because it broke the sound barrier on land first.
I'm sure if the engineers look into vtec surely it can hit 1000mph.
vtec is torque driven crap. they've bypassed torque and went straight to thrust power (much better). So what the frack you talkin bout willis? Did you even watch the video?

The medicine says women handle G force better than men- it's a "biological thing"- sorta makes up for all the other superiority myths you've been brought up on, doesn't it?Actually, looking at your name,I suspect you should take up the qualifications of women with Angela Merkel- even if you don't agree with all of her politics, you have to respect her ability; those who haven't aren't much around the Bundestag any more. In Jessi Combs case, she was fully licensed and certified, the car was inspected and cleared by very skilled technicians of the sanctioning body, not the American Eagle team. In her early teens, she was doing things with dirt bikes that boys six to ten years older couldn't- and i rather doubt you could now. I'm not family, and I never met the lady, but I was deeply impressed by what she did, time after time. BTW, it is thought she hit a rock and lost surface contact- there is both the sanctioning bodies report and the County Sheriff's if you want to dig.
i didn't even know that she broke a land speed record, let alone she was trying to break a land speed record. she used to be on the power block on spike. always thought that she was a good looking lady. that's too bad.

4:55 omg it's so weird and harder to understand when the speed is not on the x axis. This way it would be more straightforward that the air resistance exponentially increases with the speed
I remember the Discovery Channel special on the Thrust SSC back in the day. All the struggles, the danger involved. It was very, very hard to pull that off. The driver was a former Royal Air Force pilot if I'm not mistaken, and the project manager was the former driver of the Thrust, which held the world record at the time, getting close to the speed of sound, but not over it.
Yup ...
I'm old enough to remember when Richard Noble smashed the world land speed record in Thrust 2, which I got to see in person, in a vehicle museum, iurc, in Coventry. Aside from that, it was notable for the fact that Jaguar took one of the fastest coupé at the time (XJS ?), and turned it into the world's fastest 'fire engine' (OK, more like a car out fitted with a big enough tank for fire suppression), just in case Thrust 2 crashed ... I still have a vague visually memory of watching it power across the dry lake bed, the mirage effect making it look like it _was_ travelling across water, with a huge 'roosters' tail of dust, right behind it ...
When Trust SSC came around, by then he knew he was a touch too old to drive it. Though he was a key figure in the project, even he would say he had a more hands off rôle than portrayed, but given he _did_ practically hold the land speed record for the longest time, he appreciated actually being bought on-board.
As for the driver of Thrust SSC, if memory recalls, not only was he an retired RAF Squadron Leader (the equivalent to a Major in both the Army, and Royal Marines; and Lt. Commander in the Royal Navy - making him a NATO OF-3), but he was a Sqn Ldr of the Red Arrows, the RAF's Display Team, making him a man formerly in charge of one of the world's elite aerobatic display teams, requiring an insane level of skill just to be even considered to join them, as even a few seconds miss-timing can end in serious crashes, during air displays. I wish I could remember that pilot's name, as he - rightfully - deserves recognition for being the first person to drive faster than Mach 1, which would've pushed even his skills to the limit ...
... but seeing an aerial photo of Thrust SSC, a clear line, caused by the supersonic shock wave spreading laterally across the salt/sand, is still an incredible image ...
... hence I can't wait to see what Bloodhound can do, at maximum throttle ...
@@nigelft The driver of ThrustSSC was Andy Green. He's also the driver of Bloodhound LSR. But he'll be 60 years old this year, so maybe not such a great idea?
@@nigelft Same!! As a kid fascinated in all things 'car', we had a school trip to Coventry Motor Museum - after showing a documentary on Thrust 2, they rolled back the curtains and there it was - Thrust 2 !!!

I attended an educational show as an HP consultant for scientific calculators on 2012. At that time, the Bloodhound LSR project was being introduced as the SSC. So I took that project as my presentation theme.
After thoroughly studying math involved and running several calculations, I arrived at a speed figure of 1058.8 mph if the trial run was performed at 30 degrees Celsius ambient temperature and the 794-meter elevation at Hakskeen Pan.
I figured that the combined power available from the jet engine - rocket motor combination amounted to over 100,000 horsepower to overcome the 19-ton drag force exerted over the car body.
However, I could not consider the second-order effects stemming from the supersonic shock wave, being that the nonlinear analysis can not be undertaken without the aid of advanced hydrodynamic software.
My favorite thing about this channel is how guys who seem like they can be a bunch of kyles, are actually really smart and passionate about what they talk about so they do the math.

You guys make it so much easier for non car guys (like me) to understand, also, I've been learning alot about fluid dynamics, and how it applies to air, never thought the two with the same.
Someday I'm going to market air as "Water Light" and convince everyone they need to consume eight glasses of it per day, and that it's cleaner straight out of plastic.
as a mechanical engeneer myself, i would like to add that going over 300mph (500kmh) is already an acomplishment.
i have never phisically participated in the creation of any super car or anything like that, but on my free time i tried to design (as a self challenge) a internal combustion-propeled "as fast as i can for the memes" car, and boy was it a failure, yes, my engine theorically works, and my body design is oddly efficient at dispelling drag, but that thing even on the simulations cannot achive it's theoricall top speed (325mph, 520kmh), i have managed to run it at about 300 mph (480ish kmh, got lazy to do the convertions, lol), and that was by replacing the drivier with a IA driver instead of a human (simulated) driver.
i have abandoned the project for now, but here's a summary of all the things that i have to fix:
-the engine displaces too much residual gas, blowing up the whole turbo system, tried to replace it with superchargers, they got ripped appart.
-if the turbos explodings don't blow up first, they melt down from the increase of heat due exsesive preasure.
-i have not found yet the right alghorithm to make the smart surfaces correctly adjust for the drag at low speeds (but that's just me not knowing how to code properly)
-belive it or not wheel traction plays a huge part on acceleration, at nearly about 1.8k hp, the force transmited to the ground from the wheels is so high that one out of two things always happens; car does minihops off the ground making the ride rock around making it near imposible to drive, or the wheels have differential traction, making my build turn from a car into world's lamest-but-cool-looking bayblade (again making it near imposible to control).
moral of the story, just because the math checks out doesn't reallity does too.
I mean...if you did all that by yourself then it's really impressive
@@GameOver-nm2us oh hey, thanks, but i must confess that i have been working on that since i was a teenager, so not that impressive under the context that it took me well over a decade to do it all.
Project is still halted as I've lost interest for now, might take it up again some day in the future, but like i said, simulations differ from real world, in the real world 2k hp engines need to be rebuilt after each use as they thorn apart themselves after a few seconds of max power output.
@@thedinastyguild yes but you could use electrical motors as an example. Idk why but I have the urge to make you continue the project and finish it. Also idc if you've been working on it since you were a teenager, that's still sick

Should also discuss the tires. They are a big limiting factor for production vehicles.
you mean the solid aluminum wheels? there is no 'tire' as such.
@@ghostrider-be9ek right? Shit, the Chiron needed special one time tires to hit over 300mph because pressure in them get too high. Imagine the stress the crank goes through at double that speed without actual tires to absorb it. Rockets pump water under them during launch so the acoustics don’t tear it apart, imagine a poor car going through the sound barrier at sea level. By comparison density is at 1,000 millibars at sea level. At 18,000 feet it’s less than half (cruising altitude), at 100,000 feet it’s only about 10. So over twice the air resistance on land...if it’s not too hot...and while keeping traction the whole time.
Yeah there was a doco about the Thrust SSC and that was one of the problems they had, the car was literally ripping itself apart as it went down the track
Bloodhound engineers built a wheel that can handle something like 100,000Gs. That was no small feat.
it is full metal, no rubber
@@makantahi3731
Indeed ...
Just the engineering behind making the solid billets, iirc, from a very carefully controlled alloy; heat treating it; tempering it back; then machining it to insane tolerances, was all a nightmare by itself.
Even the rocket motor, which provides the secondary power, ontop of the jet engine, to push it past 830mph, took several iterations.
And the twin analogue dials, built by Rolex, just in case of both primary, and secondary, electronic systems fail, took alot of effort to build, as not even the watches that the Apollo astronauts wore were subjected to the same calculated g-forces those two dials will experience at maximum thrust ... imagine building a mechanical watch that can operate with a shock loading of 8g+, abet able to maintain the same precision of timing ...
... that's how difficult building Bloodhound is, and why it has suffered setbacks, and delays, as all the teams involved, are quite literally pushing the envelope, as they are, essentially, building a fighter jet with the express purpose of _not_ taking off, even though it would be travelling, iirc, somewhere between V1, and Vr ...
