    I have apparently been living under a rock. I had no clue the Jessi Combs had passed away during a land speed run. I had a huge crush on her back in the early 2000's. I watched her on myth busters, overhaul'n and xtreme 4x4. She was very talented and seemed as though she could build/accomplish anything. R.I.P. Jessi.

    The Trust SSC will always be my favourite land speed record car because it introduced me to 3 things
    1. land speed record racing events
    2. jet powered cars
    3. the first car to break the speed of sound
    The car was so iconic that there were pictures of it on my Physics book when we learned about speed

      Kyle G, get yourself a copy of Speed Duel: The Inside Story of the Land Speed Record in the Sixties by Samuel Hawley. Thi8s exceptional book covers the LSR duel between all of the drivers and teams of the 60's with deep dives into Art and Craig's efforts to outgun each other. Its a riveting book, one you won't put down. That your grandfather worked and drove for Art almost asures you'll learn more about him from this book. I got to meet Art during his tractor pulling days in the mi9d 80's, a company I worked for made ballistic composite body panels for BigFoot (we are based in St. Louis) and Art wanted to meet us to see a sample and discuss its use on his pulling rig. I always suspected he also wanted to see if the composite would be useful on his final LSR project that never came to fruition. Fun night at the old Checkerdome, got to meet a motorsports icon and get an inside look at pulling rigs, something totally off the wall for our team as our primary focus was SCCA road racing work at the time, besides the BigFoot stuff. PS: You can find the book used or via interlibrary loan at your local library, which is how I read it. Give your connection it might be nice if you can find a new or near new copy. Happy Reading!

      Yep, similar to why trains haven't really been able to break the 180 MPH mark for the past couple of decades. Whilst possible, evidently by speed records; at such high speeds even something as heavy as a bullet train starts to slowly turn into an aerofoil and become unstable, difficult to maintain speed and traction, etc. Only rare and highly advanced examples like the Shanghai Maglev can achieve insane speeds with relative stability. Air is quite the finicky fluid.

    I was a kid in the 60s when the jet cars came on the scene and the Beach Boys had a song about Craig Breedlove.
    The Blue Flame was my favorite land speed record car and the last one to set the LSR at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Minor quibble: the driver's name was pronounced Gabelich, gab rhymed with cab, not gabe. And the Blue Flame used a rocket engine, not a jet. This was the only LSR record holder that was rocket-propelled. (The Budweiser Rocket came later and never set an official record.)
    I sketched up a model of the Blue Flame I planned to build that would've used an actual model rocket engine. I planned on tethering it with eyelets onto a length of monofilament fishing line between pylons set some distance apart on an empty, level parking lot, like my high school's on a Sunday. I figured that might keep it on the ground and pointed straight. I drew the sketch over 50 years ago. One of these days...

    Its important to separate out thrust vehicles, turbine powered and piston powered wheel driven vehicles. Danny Thompson who holds the piston engine/wheel driven LSR in Challenger II at 448.75, set in 2018. This is the same car, updated to modern standards that his father Mickey drove to the piston engine/wheel driven LSR back in 1960 at a speed of 406.60. That record had stood for 58 years! There has been a single run by Don Vesco in the Vesco Turbinator (turbine power/wheel driven) at 503 also in 2018. Vesco holds the current wheel driven (not the same as piston engine as his car was a turbine engine/wheel driven vehicle) at 4458.444, set in 2021.

He broke the 26 year record in 1991 at 409.8mph . I believe he held the record for roughly 10 years . The wheel driven records and piston powered records are where it's at .

    Surprised you guys didn't Mention Al Teague . He held the piston powered record for a while plus the wheel driven record. None of the jet engine stuff . He broke a 26 year old record In 1991 by going 409.8 . He is a land speed legend.

    RIP Skip Hedrich, his racing career was far more than his custom made Streamliner “American Eagle” that is shown in this whole clip, he also raced Indy, and was also in Speed Boat racing and more. He is extremely well known at Bonneville, why didn’t you showcase his racing and part of getting to speed? It’s nice that at the very least you mentioned him as if it was just a Streamliner, that happens to be at the museum…he just passed 3 months ago. You should at least look more into the car and the man, than just using it as a prop. I watched him build that car as his grandson for decades.

    The water speed record is a whole other can of worms. It is one of the deadliest records out there. So many people died trying to break it. Because when you catch a bad wave at those high speeds, you and your boat just disintegrate. At high speeds, water is just like concrete, but the waves and your boat digging into the water mean you don't just scrape to a halt like on a nice road or salt flat, but bounce around and get torn apart. It's like when you drop into water from a great height.

    My dad was offered the opportunity to do some body work for Craig Breedlove on the Spirit of America Formula Shell LSRV in the mid to late 90's out in Rio Vista, CA. Of course, he took it, and he let me come with him. It was an amazing experience for both of us.

      @Jace Nice! Was it the same car? My dad works for a company called Scaled Composites which is responsible for some crazy aircraft over the years, most notably SpaceShip One/Two and White Knight and Stratolaunch AKA Roc. He does a lot of the precision body work and shaping of the parts and is great at what he does. I can't remember if he got involved with the Spirit of America team from the initial build or if he was brought in to help with the repairs. I must have been 8 or 9 at the time.

      That’s awesome man! My Grandpa Rod word on like fiberglass bodies for race cars and such. He was the guy who worked on the Aerodynamics of the Spirit of America which broke the land speed record and dipping our toes into the 400 mph range. I remember when I got to sit in one of the NASCARs at PHX raceway. Unfortunately, he has already passed away to some condition, but he is one of my many inspirations to become an engineer thanks to him. It’s my final year of High School and I have obtained a full ride scholarship to the University of Arizona. So far so good👍

    I was at Daytona 500 a couple weeks back, and at the Daytona Hotel lobby they've got Bluebird, one of the more famous landspeed record cars. And after admiring it for a good few minutes, and thinking about what it must have been like, and reading the plaque about the car and it's designer, Donald Campbell (guessing this vid is about him), and it's the same guy I was reading about several years ago who died while setting the water speed record. Dude was just a brilliant, fearless engineer. There's a museum up in the Lake District in the north of England about him and his vehicles. Man was real life Sonic. Gotta go fast.

    Rockets are going to be the only way to do it. The problem being that they need to turn around and make the run again within 30 minutes. Rockets can't be turned off and refired like jets but they create incredible thrust.

  • @BlueTrane2028
    @BlueTrane2028 Год назад +1

    Jessi Combs... that one hurts on so many levels.
    First off, the jet car started life as an F-104 Starfighter, and was used as a chase plane for the X-15 project among others... it witnessed the fastest airplane in history and should have been hung in the Smithsonian next to the X-15, not made into some abomination of a "car."
    When I saw what those people were up to, I said right then and there "this will kill someone." Look at the SSC and the Bloodhound, heck every LSR car newer than Breedove's original Spirit of America. In those cars, the pilot was contained in more of a safety cell and not simply perched atop the vehicle, plus had engines and such positioned higher than their head. Breelove rollled one of his cars at over 500mph right before Thrust SSC took the record... and walked away from the crash.
    Being perched atop the vehicle, like Jessi had been in the North American Eagle, was the last place you needed to be if things went wrong.
    My worst thoughts became stark reality and we lost an amazing human.
    I have doubts that Bloodhound will see 1000mph, there just isn't enough quality flat land for the decel afterwards... but I don't doubt that someone will eventually break the SSC's record.
    Note, I'm not for a second railing against record attempts in general... but taking shortcuts like using an existing airplane fuselage, is a foolhardy plan. Fighter jets and cars have vastly different missions to complete.

    Also, judging by this graph at the end of the video and the law of averages, we're in a plateau phase. I'd say with today's innovations, we could start seeing 1000mph within the next 10-15 years.

    I can't help but to get a little misty every time I see Jessi Combs pop up in media, she was such a badass, stellar role model for young women and a tortured artist who couldn't go a minute without creating something with her hands. Even with every precaution before every single run, land speed record racing is a roll of the dice every time a driver gets into the vehicle, as the slightest thing going wrong is so likely to be catastrophic and the team only ever has control of maybe half of the overall conditions. It just sucks that Jessi got a bad roll yet so many others managed to avoid getting so much as a scratch.
