Thrust SSC -over the sound barrier !

May 30

Author: admin Category: Uncategorized

October 1997, UK managed to break the sound barrier on earth, using the fantastic Thrust SSC vehicule. I made this video because there was too few videos about this remarkable event on the web. (music credits: Spa 24 hours - Stephen Baysted)

Yea, it’s cool that it went that fast, but I personally don’t think this is as impressive as it seems. For one thing, this is NOT a road machine. It is simply an airplane that is designed not to takeoff. Furthermore, the real challenge in engineering a fast car is running shaft power through a variable drivetrain, through tires, and onto the ground. So, in my opinion, something like the Bugatti Veyron is more of an engineering marvel.
