On October 26, Bloodhound will move for the first time in a slow speed test to check the final design details. This time, the Bloodhound operates on an engine powered by Eurofighter-Typhoon fighter aircraft and will travel at speeds of up to 354 km / h before reaching the end of the 2,744 m long run. And the boosters providing capacity for SCC to reach 1,600 km / h are still in development, so they will be installed later.
First, the manufacturers will find a way to get the car to reach 1,287 km / h before raising the capacity to reach 1,600 km / h. Tests will take place in Hakskeen Pan, a dry lake at the Northern Cape, South Africa as soon as the rocket engine is ready.
