The new speed record possible!

The current speed record was set by British designers Thrust SSC in 1997 and is 763.035mph (1227,986 km / h).

At least in the coming years, the two teams set their sights on overcoming barriers to 1000mph (1609,344 km / h) - Bloodhound SSC, and 5R Aussie Invader.
1000mph is not a big enough challenge for one person.

California, the developer believes that his car, a rocket must be able to reach 2000mph (3218,688 km / h). Ambitious top speed of almost 2,000 km / h more than the current land speed record, and means that the car will fly about 900 meters per second.

Waldo Stakes spent the last nine years of his life the study of the project Sonic Wind Land Speed ​​Research Vehicle, and he said, the project should have "a record speed of the car on the ground and the most powerful car on the planet."

The rate will be on the redesigned rocket engine XLR99, which was originally developed in 1950 to promote experimental aircraft X-15 NASA, which set a speed record flying 4520mph (7274 km / h) in 1967 - a record which still is not broken.

He says that the combination of liquid oxygen and methanol could allow rocket engine producing up to 61,000 pounds of thrust.
Not surprisingly, did not find Stakes driver to test-launch vehicle.
