A view from the big chair, screens can be individually set up for different readings, there is no ejector seat so its a case of strap in tight and hold on until the vehicle comes to a stop The steering wheel is 3D printed from titanium


There is a carbon fibre duct that fits inside the upper structure that directly feed the jet engine. I thought the upper structure was beautifully made, hand rolled titanium sheet with titanium ribs all riveted together with perfectly flush rivet heads, a stunning bit of craftsmanship. The jet engine has been borrowed from a Eurofighter Typhoon and so new its not even been de-classified but Rolls Royce have been very supportive and have donated two EJ200 engines
Cold end

Service truck, only a 1hr turn around is permitted before a run in the opposite direction has to be made. If Bloodhound over shoots by 4 miles or more it doesn't leave enough time for refueling. I certainly would want to be waiting at the other end of the desert with a car coming at me at a 1000 miles an hour
