In this summer Daniel Jubb will undertake the first full test firing of a hybrid rocket which he has designed to help a British team set a new land-speed record by driving at 1,000 mph (1,609 kph). However, a powerful EJ200 jet engine from a Typhoon fighter aircraft and a Cosworth Formula 1 racing engine will be also needed the assistance of this rocket if Bloodhound SSC (supersonic car) is to become the fastest thing on wheels.
Jubb usually designs and manufactures secretive military rockets in Britain and the United States. The project of bloodhound SSC has begun at an appropriate location which is a borrowed warehouse on the quayside in Bristol next to Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s SSC Great Britain in a record 14 days.
