I remember seeing those engines at BAE Warton many years ago and was amazed at the work in them. That diamond pattern in the cases is machined into the surface and if memory serves each case is itself machined from a single billet.
Expensive!

Beautiful things, aren't they?

Perhaps the latest news and information on display by BLOODHOUND SSC is a good sign to any speed record team. There is nothing wrong with trying many shapes to get the correct body shape,altering rear suspension design and width, changing the power of one of the power units (rocket), swapping the position (stacking) of multiple power units and then changing the type of fuel pump motor.

The skill must being doing all that within a time frame to run in build up for a record by 2012.
