"Equivalent to 60 to zero in one second! If we did that in a road car, that would qualify as a crash!" Hilarious understatement from the Wing Commander.👍
actionmethod He IS James Bond ❗️Can you even imagine 1,000 mph , I saw him interviewed once before and he is just an outstanding human being . Thanks for your comment ❗️🇺🇸
I saw a piece on the Mustang running over two hundred, and the aerodynamics on the car was what needed tuning. They did do two hundred, but it took allot of tape.
I've said it before. Andy talks about sliding around at 190 mph like he's looking for a parking spot at Walmart. I'd still be crapping myself months later. Incredible guy.
I love it Mr Green is very talkative and informative than again for this great video ...and Jay thanks a bunch for making this available to the vulgum pecus
I'd like to point out that anything with Andy Green has been of this quality. Big fan of Jay and other shows here on the internet - Multiple have been talking with Green and every time its interesting.
It’s great this guy is doing an educational program. STEM + motorsports (or anything hands and mechanical) is critical for producing quality engineers. JPL wants people with gear head background because their designs work so much in real world applications than the geniuses (I don’t mean that sarcastically) who go to MIT, but have worked on designs in the theoretical realm only. SpaceX and JPL sponsored a gravity kart program for kids I worked with because they know it will be a good investment for creating a talent pool that will help them keep raising the bar.
Andy Green eh ! Big balls brave, sure, big brain intelligent too ! There are plenty of supersonic military jet fighter pilots that have the skill to do what Andy does, he is in an elite club, some go on to fly as test pilots or fly space craft. Andy looks like he enjoys the driving challenges. looking forward to the 1000 mph !
Limivorous1 : I cared for his late father who passed on in New Zealand in 2014. His momma is South African. After the termoil of the past 6 months since his understudies death and six years since his Fathers, this guy really has the best support around the world and knows exactly what the risks are. As for the personal comments from others on accent and so forth, well hes a wounderfull guy with a simply awesome family.
I would like to see Jay at the end of one of his shows say to the guy he is interviewing "btw, this car isn't going anywhere, it is staying here." like a boss,!!!!
Air density does have a measurable effect. But he's talking about the supersonic run in the car. And with that air density is dependent on temperature.
It does, really it's just air density that changes the speed of sound. But while altitude does change air density, temperature changes air density much faster. And when you're talking about someplace like Bonneville, he is going to experience changes in temperature but not altitude.
Why has the mikes all these disturbances? It has been like this for the last vids, is it the nearby airport radar causing havoc, or just lousy soundman work? Love the vid, great guy Andy!
Why dont you try being positive and realize that the thrill of discovery may one day fix all the problems that you find so much pleasure in compaining about. :)
Much more then just a straight line at the speeds he was doing back in 1997 in Thrust SSC, the salt is hard enough to drive on. And i don't think many people could drive at 763 Mph.
you know. as an air craft mechanic / avionics tech for the past 40 years. i got used to numbers like that. in MPH / %MACH air speed.. but in a car ??? on the ground ??? at 14.7 lbs ? wont the car burn up from air friction ? an airplane gos through a lot of changes at that speed. but it is made to do that at alt. it's a lot easer at altitudes. lol good luck Andy.
No Helmet, No gloves , No fire suit. = Joy Ride.. How many other people drove that same car down the salt that day ? (Car Add. on location.) YAWN...But the JET CAR, MAD Respect.
Exactly, we played. Some harder than others, some with great success and some with great failure. We learn from the failures and become better, faster and stronger. That's the human experience. It wasn't long ago that forks, knives and guns use to be made out of wood or steel. If it wasn't for electrolysis or poly-carbon plastics you would still get splinters or lock jaw every time you sit down and enjoy a meal. I'm guess I won't joke about guns too(too soon).
dammit Jay! this is the second time you've run a bentley ad and now i have to go out and buy a second one. what am i going to do with two mulsannes? JUST WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!?!!?
This is the first interview I've seen with Andy Green, and I'm impressed. Can he act? He'd make a better James Bond than Daniel Craig, who is too ugly for the part.
Eto Hige Gamer Culture "these fellas" is Richard Noble Thrust2 1983 Land Speed Record ThrustSSC 1997 Broke his own record that had remained since 1983 BloodhoundSSC 1000 MPH goal He does indeed have the LSR locked down tight. Richard Noble was Owner Driver of Thrust2 Andy Green was his driver of ThrustSSC. A great deal of information is on the web by Noble & Books & DVD sales on his projects are sold by him. I have "signed" model of ThrustSSC and my name (along with tens of thousands of others) will be on the tail of BloodhoundSSC by my Purchase of a model of BloodhoundSSC. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Noble
Define "cheaper." Known flaw in the BMW S85 V10 engine. When bearing failure occurs in the engine, the S85 V10 costs $35,000 to replace. BMW doesn't even make this engine anymore or offer it in any product for obvious reasons. The S65 V8 has proven to be a far more durable product.
i dont know if its an issue for them but it seems so for me that the faster you go the more land you need and we dont really have places that long and that flat to attempt such a thing... and also the 1 hour limitation... the more complicated the technology the harder it could be to prep a car in that little time
think i read somewhere recently they are switching it to an all electric pump - will still require the same power but apparently will be lighter - honestly cant recall where i heard that though so take with a pinch of salt
No, Jay doesn't own the car. If you listen to the interview Jay points out that the Bentley you see is the actual car that reached 191 mph at Bonneville.
My mate Wiffy says he wouldn’t lend his Morris Minor to Andy , he reckons he would thrash it around Halfords car park with his mates, I said Richard Nobel
The right stuff for sure. But I wonder if he'll ever actually get to drive the Bloodhound. It's been delayed so many times now, I have lost almost all of my faith!
ludocrat The Bloodhound has never been delayed, it's just taking a long and very measured approach to achieving it's goal. They're never going to rush it - people's lives are on the line. There's an awful lot to learn, especially with shock waves and air pressure as Andy was talking about to Jay, so I think it's worthy of them taking an extra few years to get it right. But we now know the car runs, it's been built, it's been tested, it's done over 200 miles an hour on a test track, the rocket motor has been tested, the jet engine is fully fledged and tested, and they're just putting the final nuts and bolts together to make sure that things go as planned in 2019. It was never meant to be done in just a few year. They've had to raise an awful lot of charity & private money, and investment and sponsorship along the way. They've never had any financial help from the government that's all contrary to popular belief. Even the ej200 was a spare that was lent to them only - and given back when they finished with it. That's the difference between people that are doing things in their backyard and killing themselves, and people that know that the forces on the vehicle at 850, 900, or 1000 miles per hour are just unimaginable.
Maybe because we all don't have the same education you have? Or maybe because it's not a physics show? To ask the right questions Jay must know his audience and if you think he asks the wrong questions I think it's the wrong show for you... you think?
Why did he spend all the time asking this man simple physics questions? Like there are many more interesting things to ask him than things that we have all learned in class or could easily look up online...
I have a 190 M.P.H. Bently in the garage right next to my 94 Ranger V8 project that I've been working on for over 2 years...NOT!!! I actually do have a V8 Ranger project in there tho!
Yes, except the ones he brings on to his shows, that obviously have a different owner. But Jay owns, I believe, no less than 150 cars. I can't believe no one has ever answered this question for you.
How nice to listen to an intelligent and articulate person in a time when these are becoming more in short supply.
He’s british
This guy is a legend. An extremely brave person!
A very articulate and engaging guest. It's interviews like this that show how Jay continues to raise the bar in automotive journalism.
"Equivalent to 60 to zero in one second! If we did that in a road car, that would qualify as a crash!" Hilarious understatement from the Wing Commander.👍
Intelligent, well-spoken, humble. A true officer and gentleman.
thank you for getting him in. thank you for appreciating his efforts.
"...and that's going to spoil my afternoon." 😉🤣
I had the pleasure of meeting Andy Green and he is an absolute legend
Andy Green has a James Bond thing going on.
actionmethod He IS James Bond ❗️Can you even imagine 1,000 mph , I saw him interviewed once before and he is just an outstanding human being . Thanks for your comment ❗️🇺🇸
You can tell Jay is star-struck, this is the video he has talked the least in ever!
At my old age...I just learned a few new things. That man is amazing!
I saw a piece on the Mustang running over two hundred, and the aerodynamics on the car was what needed tuning.
They did do two hundred, but it took allot of tape.
Thanks Jay, Wing Commander Green must be one of the most facinating interesting men youve ever had in the Garage!
I've said it before. Andy talks about sliding around at 190 mph like he's looking for a parking spot at Walmart. I'd still be crapping myself months later. Incredible guy.
i got to meet andy back when he set the record and he was such a nice to to hang out with and talk to!
I love it Mr Green is very talkative and informative than again for this great video ...and Jay thanks a bunch for making this available to the vulgum pecus
Fascinating Interview! Especially the 10 tons of force.
Jay Leno's a legend....from Sheffield,England
That ... was .... awesome.
The title of Wing Commander has to be one of the coolest military titles. Good video game too!
Green is a class act .
Amazing color on that Mulsanne...
I'd like to point out that anything with Andy Green has been of this quality.
Big fan of Jay and other shows here on the internet - Multiple have been talking with Green and every time its interesting.
Andy is awesome!
Respect!
I love how he minimizes the science/physics of it, the man a genius!!!!
What an incredible feat... the physics of pulling that off, wow.
It’s great this guy is doing an educational program. STEM + motorsports (or anything hands and mechanical) is critical for producing quality engineers. JPL wants people with gear head background because their designs work so much in real world applications than the geniuses (I don’t mean that sarcastically) who go to MIT, but have worked on designs in the theoretical realm only. SpaceX and JPL sponsored a gravity kart program for kids I worked with because they know it will be a good investment for creating a talent pool that will help them keep raising the bar.
So interesting.
Andy Green eh ! Big balls brave, sure, big brain intelligent too ! There are plenty of supersonic military jet fighter pilots that have the skill to do what Andy does, he is in an elite club, some go on to fly as test pilots or fly space craft. Andy looks like he enjoys the driving challenges. looking forward to the 1000 mph !
So I learned in physics and aerodynamic properties in 15 mins thanks to this video. Thanks Jay.
Great video, glad to see Andy Green is back to break his own Record.
Awesome! I've always liked vintage Bentleys and Rolls Royces.
Funny to hear the words Bentley and "more attainable" spoken in the same sentence!
I believe they have chosen somewhere in South Africa for the actual record attempt.
Limivorous1 : I cared for his late father who passed on in New Zealand in 2014. His momma is South African.

“Getting in the car stoped before the end of the track - this bits compulsory” This man is a master at subtle understatement 😂
Edit - spelling
I would like to see Jay at the end of one of his shows say to the guy he is interviewing "btw, this car isn't going anywhere, it is staying here." like a boss,!!!!
What a great interview and insight into the challenges.
Andy Green is a bit of a hero!
great interview and very knowledgeable/learning interview...Thanks Jay. Keep those great videos coming.
9:01 800 hp fuel pump :)
I believe altitude also change "the speed of sound"
Air density does have a measurable effect. But he's talking about the supersonic run in the car.
And with that air density is dependent on temperature.
This was a very interesting, educational video... Fascinating.,
..Great Video Jay.!
It does, really it's just air density that changes the speed of sound. But while altitude does change air density, temperature changes air density much faster. And when you're talking about someplace like Bonneville, he is going to experience changes in temperature but not altitude.

Love the vid, great guy Andy!
loved it,, great guest
Andy green he IS THE MAN so brave!!!!!.
Why dont you try being positive and realize that the thrill of discovery may one day fix all the problems that you find so much pleasure in compaining about. :)
I could listen to Andy Green all day long. Where's the knighthood???
Balls of steel
Much more then just a straight line at the speeds he was doing back in 1997 in Thrust SSC, the salt is hard enough to drive on. And i don't think many people could drive at 763 Mph.

Amazing guys
Jay my car won 3rd place at 100th Anniversary of Indy in Boca Raton Fl. IndyG
Andy Green, Master in speed. :D
Andy green reminds me of the bently boys, a real gentlemen's racer.
Extremes of both intelligence and balls. Jay feels like I do mixing with the general public.
wow he is awesome, damn. What a genius!
The most intelligent and capable land speed record driver ever !
Is the speedometer correct? A lot of cars speedometers overstate speed.
I believe it is since the speed and timing is done by others.
Just read about the new car in Popular Mechanics. Cool stuff!
this is so interesting.
No Helmet, No gloves , No fire suit. = Joy Ride.. How many other people drove that same car down the salt that day ? (Car Add. on location.) YAWN...But the JET CAR, MAD Respect.
ohh that Bentley in the back :X
Question for Jay: Have you ever been over 200 M.P.M. in any of your cars?! You centainly have cars capable off a hitting that milestone.
Exactly, we played. Some harder than others, some with great success and some with great failure. We learn from the failures and become better, faster and stronger. That's the human experience. It wasn't long ago that forks, knives and guns use to be made out of wood or steel. If it wasn't for electrolysis or poly-carbon plastics you would still get splinters or lock jaw every time you sit down and enjoy a meal. I'm guess I won't joke about guns too(too soon).
watch the video again! ;)
LMAO, imagine using an F1 engine as your fuel pump. That’s some seriously scary stuff.
audio is very quite even with my volume to the max
dammit Jay! this is the second time you've run a bentley ad and now i have to go out and buy a second one. what am i going to do with two mulsannes? JUST WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!?!!?
I bought my third after watching this.
Actually most luxury and or sports sedans are electronically limited. This car should do over 200 mph
You don't understand aerodynamics much Jason do you?
Really??? I'm in South Africa!! Hope it's open to public to view!!
This is the first interview I've seen with Andy Green, and I'm impressed. Can he act? He'd make a better James Bond than Daniel Craig, who is too ugly for the part.
And they're going to do it
Wing Commander Green is 'One Cool Cat'👍🏻
I wonder if these fellas have this area cornered or if any other country is building anything to compete with this? land speed record wise I mean
Eto Hige Gamer Culture "these fellas" is Richard Noble
Thrust2 1983 Land Speed Record
ThrustSSC 1997 Broke his own record that had remained since 1983
BloodhoundSSC 1000 MPH goal
He does indeed have the LSR locked down tight. Richard Noble was Owner Driver of Thrust2
Andy Green was his driver of ThrustSSC. A great deal of information is on the web by Noble & Books & DVD sales on his projects are sold by him. I have "signed" model of ThrustSSC and my name (along with tens of thousands of others) will be on the tail of BloodhoundSSC by my Purchase of a model of BloodhoundSSC.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Noble
Now make a kitt from night rider
kind of ironic that you commented first and has a me gusta face as picture :P
Eating crackers and sausage with a dab of grey poupon at 190+....pretty awesome....
A lot of aircraft terms and systems Yay!
This is what James Bond should look like
Besides you would have to find a tree to wrap around. I hear they are harder to come by.
Jay, is that a master compressor watch? Lol
great, AND you can do this in an E60 M5 which will do over 205! also ,uch cheaper than the Bentley
Define "cheaper." Known flaw in the BMW S85 V10 engine. When bearing failure occurs in the engine, the S85 V10 costs $35,000 to replace. BMW doesn't even make this engine anymore or offer it in any product for obvious reasons. The S65 V8 has proven to be a far more durable product.

he even talks fast!
4:46 4500 rpm redline, it's like a diesel engine.
i miss the e60 ///M5. At the BMW dealer by my house they use to show a video of an M6 and M5 hitting 203-206 mph stock with limiter turned off.
Man i want that Bentley!!!
Cosworth engine as a fuel pump wwoooooooooooow
think i read somewhere recently they are switching it to an all electric pump - will still require the same power but apparently will be lighter - honestly cant recall where i heard that though so take with a pinch of salt
jaguar v8 now.
Bentley is a wonderful car.
I wonder if Jay owns the red Bentley in the background...
No, Jay doesn't own the car. If you listen to the interview Jay points out that the Bentley you see is the actual car that reached 191 mph at Bonneville.
My mate Wiffy says he wouldn’t lend his Morris Minor to Andy , he reckons he would thrash it around Halfords car park with his mates, I said Richard Nobel

2 brilliant people should of worn a crash helmet as well andy
Jay, test drive the red Bentley.
Jay there is a guy building a 1000 mph car in his back shed, Rosco McGlashan
Why did he spend all the time asking this man simple physics questions? Like there are many more interesting things to ask him than things that we have all learned in class or could easily look up online...
Jay Leno on Bentley. "In a lot of ways it's more accessible to the average guy".
Yeah, right. And in a lot of ways, Jay is an average guy. :P
haha, yes. We all have Bentley section's in our garages.
I have a 190 M.P.H. Bently in the garage right next to my 94 Ranger V8 project that I've been working on for over 2 years...NOT!!! I actually do have a V8 Ranger project in there tho!
MrTruth111 I have a Bentley section in the corner of my garage, I just haven't got round to putting the Bentley in it yet. It's just a corner..
Does Jay Leno own all the cars in that garage, more or less?
Yes, except the ones he brings on to his shows, that obviously have a different owner. But Jay owns, I believe, no less than 150 cars. I can't believe no one has ever answered this question for you.
