Coming together for 2014
Some breaking news for this posting. We've been working on timings for the final build of Bloodhound SSC for a couple of months now, to see if it is practical to get out there by the end of this year.With some 200 technical partners, product sponsors and suppliers to include in the planning, it's a wide-ranging conversation!We have also had to take into account the weather in the Northern Cape in South Africa, where we are going to run.The rainy season stretches from about November through to April, so the weather could stop us running during that period.So here's the new plan that we're now going to deliver - we will be test-running the EJ200 jet engine in the car in October of this year (our fifth birthday: how time flies when you're building a 1,000mph car), followed by runway testing at the start of 2014 and then off to South Africa around Easter next year. This is a slightly disappointing delay, as we won't make it to the desert this year, but looking at the weather cycle and the build programme, it's the right decision. All of the final machining on the carbon fibre monocoque (which includes the cockpit) has now been completed.The customer should simply communicate via email the internet address where the travel xinjiang product is being sold for less indicating the direct link to the product.Bloodhound SSC's chassis is made from hundreds of components, made by dozens of different companies, and obviously we need to make sure that they are all exactly the right size and shape,Chefs Kitchen Knives so that they fit together perfectly - we don't want anything falling off at 1,000mph.If you don't hold the time for Silk road tours to deep freeze the various meats to find the excellent slashes, employ carving knives as they possibly can assist you to perform the job nicely in a short.The technique of component measuring is known as metrology, and we're lucky to have a company called Hexagon doing it all for us.
The manufacturing accuracy of some of the components is just astonishing. For example,Jaw crusher the carbon fibre monocoque (my 1,000mph office) has been machined to within six microns of the specified size.To put that in perspective, a micron is one millionth of a metre. The average human hair is 100 microns thick - so the monocoque has been machined to less than one tenth of the thickness of a human hair. Like I said - accurate.The lower chassis is now ready for final assembly, which involves both bonding (engineering speak for gluing) and riveting.This lower section requires some 3,000 rivets, which means 3,000 holes precision-drilled through the body panels (which has kept the workshop team busy for the last few weeks).Instead of writing unique apps for each Stone crusher device or OSThe bonding process requires the glue to be "cooked" to make it set - 80C for five hours, in an autoclave (a very big oven) at the National Composites Centre in Bristol.
