The North American Eagle Project was a jet powered car that was intended to challenge the 763 mph (1,228 km/h) (Mach 1.02) land speed record set by the ThrustSSC in 1997. The venture was a collaboration between Canadian and US engineers, pilots, and mechanics. In 2013, they had hoped to reach 800 mph (1,287 km/h), or Mach 1.058. [1]
Uncrewed torpedo speed claims range from 60 knots (110 km/h; 69 mph) for the British Spearfish torpedo [64] to 200 knots (370 km/h; 230 mph) for the Russian VA-111 Shkval. [ 65 ] ^ a b Ground effect vehicles (a.k.a. "Wing-In-Ground effect vehicles") are classified as maritime vessels, rather than aircraft, by the International Maritime ...
In 1956, Campbell began planning a car to break the land speed record, which then stood at 394 mph (634 km/h) set by John Cobb in the Railton Mobil Special.The Norris brothers, who had designed Campbell's highly successful Bluebird K7 hydroplane, designed Bluebird-Proteus CN7 with 500 mph (800 km/h) in mind.
Test runs driven by Green began on 25 October, using only a Rolls-Royce Eurojet EJ200 engine, with an expectation of reaching 400–500 mph (640–800 km/h). [29] The car achieved 501 mph (806 km/h) on 6 November 2019, [30] and a final top speed of 628 mph (1,011 km/h) on 16 November, making it the eighth vehicle to attain a land speed of over ...
With Vaughn Gittin Jr. riding shotgun, we take the seven-motor Mach-E 1400 out onto Charlotte Motor Speedway to get a glimpse of the electric Mustang's future.
In 2012, the Target 550 team of Marlo Treit and Les Davenport planned to raise the record for this class to more than 500 mph (800 km/h) in Viking 31, built by Jim Hume. Powered by two Dodge hemis with Whipple supercharger , it has a frontal area of 8.61 sq ft (0.800 m 2 ) and is more than 40 ft (12 m) long.
Bluebird Mach 1.1 (CMN-8) was a design for a rocket-powered supersonic land speed record car, planned by Donald Campbell but thwarted by his subsequent death during a water speed record attempt in Bluebird K7 in early 1967. [1] Donald Campbell decided a massive jump in speed was called for following his successful 1964 LSR attempt in Bluebird CN7.
The planes endured peak winds of around 265 mph, the second "strongest upper-level wind recorded in local history going back to the mid-20th century," the National Weather Service's Baltimore ...
