Curventa Go Supersonic with Bloodhound SSC
November 3, 2008 | Levent OZLER
Curventa, a London based product development company, can now finally tell the world about their biggest secret... Bloodhound SSC, the next world land speed record attempt from Richard Noble.
The Bloodhound SSC project is a three year mission to create the fastest car the world has ever seen - one capable of braking the 1000mph barrier. That's five times faster than an F1 racing car and even quicker than the bullet fired from Dirty Harry's Magnum.
Curventa have been working with Richard Noble's team from the very start, helping his chief aerodynamacist Ron Ayres develop his designs into 3D data and creating photorealistic images for marketing materials and capital finance. "We are one of the first product sponsors of Bloodhound SSC and continue to proudly support this project" said Ian Murison, Director.
Bloodhound SSC is being designed to hit 1050mph - that's 287mph faster than the current record, set by Andy Green in Thrust SSC in 1997. No-one has ever increased the land speed record by this amount and no aircraft has made it to this speed at low altitude.
The long term goal is to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers - those who will help us overcome the many challenges of the future.
