The BLOODHOUND Project organisation is using the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed to showcase the complete rocket propulsion system for its 1000mph Land Speed Record car. Comprising a custom-designed Falcon hybrid rocket, Cosworth F1 engine, pump adapted from a Blue Streak cruise missile and a one-tonne capacity HTP oxidiser tank, this exotic system will soon be tested for the first time in what will be largest rocket firing in the UK for two decades.
