How to drive at 628mph | Top Gear

  • Going 1,000mph isn’t easy. But that’s exactly what the Bloodhound project wants to do. In order to do so you need a few things; a rather special car, a Rolls-Royce EJ200 jet and a rocket. Oh, and a rather brave person to sit behind the wheel. So strap your brain in as Top Gear magazine’s Ollie Marriage speaks to Andy Green about what it’s like to do 628mph - and how this car will try and hit 1,000. Be warned: there’s talk of yaw, static roll margins and what it’s like to drift a supersonic car.

      @flashpeter625 4 года назад +3

      ​@@iCore7Gaming Nothing gets close to the ground at 500mph. The fastest commercial landing speed is about 250mph. The aerodynamic challenges in going supersonic when while staying on the ground are insane, it is much harder than flying at that speed in open air. Bloodhound is supposed to go 1000mph on the ground, which would by the way also defeat the current record speed of manned flight "at ground level" (held by N104RB Red Baron at 988mph). The airplane flew close to the ground, but high enough that was not bothered by shockwaves reflecting from the ground. Bloodhound will have to deal with it, and was designed to do so. Going 1000mph without leaving the ground is an incredible engineering challenge.

    • @LewisHamiltonMSPR
      @LewisHamiltonMSPR 4 года назад

      250mph is not fast for anything powered by a Jet or rocket. I'm actually surprised by the acceleration (or lack of). Go to a Drag strip and you'll see both V8 engined and jet engined cars reach go from 0-250mph in around 2.5 seconds.

    • @flashpeter625
      @flashpeter625 4 года назад +1

      @@LewisHamiltonMSPR Bloodhound is simply not an acceleration machine, it is a top speed machine. The only acceleration constraint is the length of the rack. Thanks to that, they do not care that much about weight, so Bloodhound weighs 6-8 tons, and a lot more effort went into low drag. Compared to a dragster, Bloodhound looses a lot from the standing start, but then above say 250mph and until about 500mph, Bloodhound's sustained acceleration of about 20mph per second (about 1G) is insane and no dragster could ever keep up with it. Wheel driven dragsters simply do not even have enough power. Jet powered dragsters might have the power, but are very draggy and unstable at these speeds compared to Bloodhound.

    • @LewisHamiltonMSPR
      @LewisHamiltonMSPR 4 года назад

      @@flashpeter625 That's all correct and I'm aware of that already, though I would argue that between 250 and 330mph, Dragster still have greater acceleration.
      They are built to accelerate as quickly as possible, which is why they have so much downforce, plus they are only built to run over a 1000ft run that takes only 3 seconds, so they'd blow up well before reaching their true top speed given a longer track.
      Still, given the size and power of the Bloodhound's engines compared to the rest of the vehicle, I still expected more acceleration than that.

    @thethirdman225 4 года назад

    The intake is one of the cleverest parts of this design. Andy doesn't go into it because aerodynamics are not as interesting to most people as mechanical bits but in very broad terms, it works like this: to start with, a jet engine cannot process supersonic air. Not even a jet that flies at twice the speed of sound. So the air must be effectively slowed down before it hits the front fan. To design this requires an enormous amount of attention to detail. In a simple circular intake like Thrust SSC, it was a much easier task. The throat just had to be about 80% of the size of the capture area of the engine. This is different. As Andy Green says, the top of the canopy over his head is set up to create static shock patterns which will slow the air down as it enters the intake. Within the intake there will be further shocks and diversions which require extremely complex calculations and very precise manufacture. This intake is, in some ways, very similar to that of and F-16 fighter. So even when the vehicle is doing better than Mach 1, the air at the face of the engine will be very precisely tuned to suit that engine's best performance, without any need for bleed ducts or variable ramps.
    And the rocket engine is perhaps even more advanced but in a different way.

      He already mentioned it, a maximum of about 1G, which is an increase in speed of about 20mph per second which tails off the faster you go, hence the 50 seconds it takes to reach 600mph as opposed to the 30 seconds it would theoretically take. A lot of super cars can achieve this initial 60mph in 3 seconds performance. This is roughly the pressure you would feel on your back if you were lying down on the ground face up. Quite gentle really.

      That’s some talent to grow a tree in the African desert, then running into it. Nice

      I remember reading about Land Speed Record attempts during the early 20th century. At the end of an attempt to do 400mph (IIRC) the driver found that the brakes weren't working. They 'cruised' straight through a telegraph pole (so about as thick as a tree) at such high speed that they barely noticed they'd hit it! Then they ended up in a lake, miraculously still alive.

    Apparently they're gonna add 2 huge compartments on the sides for the next model. It'll help the driver stow away their balls of steel.

    How come Andy Green sounds like he is the desginer/engineer for this car...he seems to knowledgeable of what's going on. He explains this better than most people explaining about how engines work on YT.

    I can never get enough of Andy Green, quite a smart chap. His Military background is so easy to pick in how he stands, how he gives straight to the point answers, humble yet super confident and super intelligent
