jet power

At lower air temperatures, there is more aerodynamic drag on the car, but there is correspondingly more jet power available to overcome it.

Profile 1 started using very limited jet power to check the steering and brakes, increasing the power and speed in stages up to Profile 8, the full-power, 200mph public runs.

“The next step for science is to measure the spin of a black hole,” Ghisellini says, to see whether spin rate is related to jet power.

Since Bluebird, every land speed record has been set using jet power, with one exception.

Check out Fire Blaster Man by Ben in Rhoose in South Wales - he has laser eyes and jet power.
