“The acceleration forces in the Bloodhound SSC are extremely high,” says Peter French, chief engineer for powertrain systems at Jaguar Land Rover. “We had to design a dry sump attachment in order to keep oil flowing around the engine when G-forces at supersonic speed are moving the oil from the production oil pick-up point.” Fitting the complete pump system with dry sump was a big challenge. “We also needed to build a fail-safe clutch system which can disconnect fuel to the hydrogen peroxide pump if SSC has a hydraulic system failure,” Mr French adds. “In addition, the space in which the engine is fitted — like everything in the Bloodhound SSC — is very confined. So every part needs to be minimised to prevent unnecessary weight. That’s why we chose a chain drive system instead of the original proposal for a gear drive, using our learning from the all-wheel-drive system employed on the Jaguar F-Type.” The Bloodhound SSC will be tested at low speeds at Cornwall’s Newquay Airport before making its way to South Africa’s Hakskeen Pan desert where, on October 15, 2016, Royal Air Force pilot Andy Green hopes to surpass his previous best speed by reaching 800mph — 40mph above the speed of sound and 37mph faster than Green’s current land-speed record. The team then hopes to return in 2017 to see if it can get the Bloodhound SCC to reach its designed maximum speed of 1,050mph — that’s a mile in just 3.6 seconds. Safety first Jaguar is also supporting the Bloodhound SSC’s record attempts by providing three high-performance, rapid-response vehicles: an all-wheel-drive Jaguar F-Type R Coupé and two Jaguar XJRs. “The XJRs have been modified at Jaguar’s special vehicle operations workshop,” says Peter French, chief engineer for powertrain systems at Jaguar Land Rover. “Jaguar engineers have created innovative solutions to allow installation of extensive emergency equipment, provided by Angloco. The bespoke fittings allow a wide range of essential equipment to be held securely during driving, but remain easy to access if required. “A unique roll cage was also created to ensure the Bloodhound support team and its equipment are as safe as possible when driving at high speeds on the loose desert surface.”
