RAF ANDY IS ON THE LIMIT WITH BLOODHOUND BID
05 February 2010

COMBAT-hardened RAF pilot Wg Cdr Andy Green is used to life in the fast lane. Already the fastest man on the planet, he is out to smash his own world land speed record which stands at nearly 770 mph, by driving the awesome Bloodhound SSC at more than 1000 mph across a dry river bed in South Africa.

It is an ambitious project that will harness cutting edge aeronautical and aerodynamic technology and test the powerful Typhoon EJ200 jet engine beyond the limits demanded by the latest generation of RAF fighter.
