3 engines
1 x jet engine out of a typhoon fighter
1 x rocket motor
1 x 800 bhp racing engine (just to get it started)
Should top out at mach 1.4 @ altitude of 6 inches :o :o :o
I give you the Bloodhound :D :D

Thought it had to have its wheels on the ground for the land speed record ???

Thats the altitude of the pilots / drivers butt plug from the ground :D :D :D

Where are they going to drive/fly this beast?. At those speeds space is in short supply. :-\

Nevada I would think :-\
Don't think there is anywhere else which is long / flat enough :-\

No chance with the engine that powers that beast ;)
It would be right at the top of the wish list for the split links and the mad mullah's ;)
Then again the way china is going, you will be able to buy "snide" versions of it along with a free man united shirt thown in by next year off ebay ;D ;D

At that speed six inches could well be the diameter of his ring... ;D

On the subject of rockets and cars, if there's any one like myself who lives for drag racing and can cast their memory back to the early to mid 1980's at Santa Pod and the Vanishing Point rocket car driven by the late Slammin' Sammy Miller who when he could get his hands on the Hydrogen Peroxide fuel to power the car put down some blistering runs on the strip.
If I'm correct the world record of 3.5 seconds and over 400 MPH for the quarter mile still stands and was set at the Pod,although Sammy was an American he did most of his rocket car runs here.
I had a lot of contact with him as I ran the medical services at the Pod for six years and after each run he had to be checked by our doctor for detached retinas and internal injuries due to the G forces involved in going from 0-300+ mph and then pulling the chutes and going 300+ to stop before he ran off the end of the track, which he did on a couple of occasions.
Guys like him are few and far between but I guess if you feel the need for speed and the means are there then it would be rude not to :y :y :y

It'd be between such tightly-clenched buttocks if I was in that thing that it'd be irrelevant. :o
-
Certainly squeaky bum time, when trying to reach these speeds. :o :o :o
I wonder what the g forces are with the initial acceleration?
The car that is, not bodily fluids or solids. ;D ;D ;D ;D
