Wowing the crowds at this year’s Farnborough International Air Show is “The Bloodhound SSC” (where SSC is short for SuperSonic Car). The Bloodhound team are aiming “to confront and overcome the impossible using science, technology, engineering and mathematics”, by which I think they mean “to achieve the possible…”
I have to admit, the car looks pretty snazzy:
Snazzy yes, but SuperSonic? No. It turns out that what’s been wowing the crowds isn’t the Bloodhound SSC itself. It’s a model. The Bloodhound SSC doesn’t exist. They’re just hawking for backers. The latest, according to the Bloodhound Team is that: “50% of the fuselage build now secured thanks to key product sponsor Hampson Industries”. All that exists right now is a snazzy model. And a sales pitch. Which makes me think that I should be over in Farnborough wowing the crowds and rattling a tin myself, with my design for the UltraSpeedMAX-FLASH, a wave-powered supercar that can do 10,006 mph. Check it out:
Damn, I forgot to label the leather driving wheel. Oh, and a should say, 50% of the leather driving wheel funding is now secured.
