Try rocket motors for racing

British experts are preparing to test the rocket engine capable of speeding the car racing to reach the threshold of 1,600km / h.

Newquay Cornwall will be the site of the largest test rig operation in the UK in 20 years.

Rockhound motors were built specifically for the Bloodhound supercar , with the goal of making the car possible to reach a tremendous speed of 1,600km / h when tested in dry lagoons in South Africa in 2014.

'We are still in the research and development phase of the project, but the trial at Newquay will be the first time that this engine has been pushed to its full capacity, and that will be a scene. impressive , "the BBC quoted Daniel Jubb, a rock-maker.

The tank will not be the only engine for the Bloodhound; It is equipped with a turbofan engine, as well as a car engine for the F1 racing car, for the sole purpose of propelling the liquid propulsion system to the rocket tank. At nearly 1 ton speed in less than 30 seconds.

The development team said the Bloodhound would be ready for lower speed tests on England's track in mid-summer 2013.
