HI I am interested in having the information about Thrust SSC, or Thrust supersonic car developed by Richard Noble, Glynne Bowsher, Ron Ayers and Jeremy Bliss?

Thrust SSC, or Thrust supersonic car, is a British jet-propelled auto created by Richard Noble, Glynne Bowsher, Ron Ayers and Jeremy Bliss.

It was steered on this event by the previous British military pilot Andy Green.

Thrust SSC is a supersonic land vehicle with a flat out speed record on the ground with a normal speed of 1,227.985 km/h - 763.035 mph - held for a separation of one mile ( 1.609 km ) 15 October 1997.

It is furnished with two post - ignition turbofan motors building up a force of around 106 000 hp 3 , making it the most intense land vehicle ever fabricated.

Weighing around 10.5 tons , Thrust SSC can quicken from 0 to 100 km/h in around 1.6 seconds and to cross the sound wall in around thirty seconds. Its name originates from the English word " push ", which signifies "push", and from the acronym SSC for SuperSonic Car .



On 25 September 1997, In the Nevada desert in the United States the Thrust SSC reaches 1,149.30 km / h . In a second attempt, on 15 October 1997, exactly 50 years old and one day after the sound barrier was crossed for the first time, a record was set at the same location at 1 227.986 km / h 6 ( 1,227.985 km / h according to the FIA ), Or more than 340 meters per second. Thrust SSC thus became the first vehicle rolling on the ground to officially reach the sound wall, the speed of the record representing a point at Mach 1.01 under the physical conditions of the moment.
