Bloodhound Update: 3D CAD Drawings Released

Project Bloodhound SSC aims to create world's fastest car that will achieve ground speed of 1000 mph (1600 kmph). We interviewed the Chief Engineer of the project, #-Link-Snipped-#. Today, the engineers released 3D CAD images of the car being developed. These images have been released under the "BLOODHOUND SSC Genome part 2" which contains CAD drawings of the car along with all the technical specifications and complement the images made available in part 1.

The files are available in JT Format - a widely used file format for CAD drawings. In order to view the files, you will need a special software from SIEMENS, called "JT2Go". You can download it from #-Link-Snipped-#. The total download size is 45.3 MB. You can then manipulate and edit the official Bloodhound SSC images for your own research.

John Wood, President of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers said:

“It’s unprecedented to release detailed design data from a project like this, yet it’s part of the unique appeal and importance of BLOODHOUND to demonstrate how sophisticated engineering works. “This world class project demonstrates the remarkable creative and technical skills already in the UK, and we hope it will inspire a whole new generation.”



Mark Chapman, BLOODHOUND Chief Engineer, added, “If you had a spare jet, rocket and F1 engine, you could, in theory, use these drawings to build your own BLOODHOUND at home. Much as we enjoy a good race, we don’t recommend it. Things get pretty hairy when you travel faster than a bullet!”
