Slow look at a fast proposition

Chief engineer Mark Chapman inspects a Euro Jet EJ 200 Typhoon jet engine next to a model of the Bloodhound supersonic car at the car project's offices in Bristol.

The team hope that Bloodhound will become the world’s fastest land vehicle by breaking the 1,000mph barrier in South Africa in 2012. The car is powered by an aircraft jet engine and a rocket.
