How ever, this engineering masterclass remains a dream for every petrol head out there. Breaking the Mach 1 barrier was both difficult as well as risky as before, no information on the ground effects of this practice was available. The ground effect includes the risk of things going terribly wrong at the slightest of anomalies. And at its designed top speed of 1400 km/h, the dynamic pressure exceeds ¾ tonnes per square foo t which makes ...
