Bloodhound Supersonic sets
target date for 800 mph world record attempt
The Bloodhound SSC Project Director Richard Noble
Noble is no stranger to fast cars, he drove the Thrust2,
which traveled at 633 mph, and broke the land speed record back in
1983. He was also the project director of the Thrust SSC, the team
that broke the record in 1997. "We achieved the first-ever
supersonic land speed record with enormous supersonic bangs,"
Noble says of the 1997 victory. He's looking forward to hearing
the sweet music of jet engines once again.
