During the day, Starks was a contractor. In the evening, most of his time is spent in creating "sonic wind" on. This car more than 50 feet long round of javelin-shaped car (about 15.24 meters), Starks want it to be able to break in 1997 to create a land speed record. If the car traveling at maximum speed, in which people read out the names of the time, it has been pulled out of 1.5 miles (about 2414 meters). Most people would never call it "LSRV".
"Sonic wind" using the military X-15 rocket plane, sawgrass mills mall map "Redstone" and "corporal" nuclear bombs and the U.S. "Apollo" service module components. October 3, 1967, X-15 rocket plane has not been broken to create a sub-orbital speed record score of 4519 miles per hour (about 7272 kilometers per hour). According to Starks said he bought in the 1980s these parts, just a mere few thousand dollars. He plans to buy methanol - liquid oxygen fuel mix, so that "sonic wind" becomes almost exactly controlled missile 一枚.
He said, "sonic wind" can break the sound barrier - about 760 miles per hour (about 1223 kilometers per hour). - The continued smooth running. When transonic, and supersonic pilots motorists on land will undergo shock wave generated vibrations. Challenges land speed record at the time, this can lead to a catastrophic shift shock, let the car deviated from the straight path. According to Starks said, breaking the sound barrier after running very smooth. By design, the "sonic wind" using a mobile wing, aerodynamic shape, the pressure in the formation of smaller car below. Two fixed wheels and rear wheels 7 small "sonic wind" sawgrass mills mall map front - the wheels moving along a triangular structure - an increase sawgrass mills mall map of vital stability.
"Sonic wind" similar rocket tail fin-shaped structure, responsible for dispersing sawgrass mills mall map the shock to the car on both sides. Starks lateral shock waves using a bicycle training wheels the same way, he hopes to break the sound barrier by the smooth design, while generating less turbulent airflow under the circumstances to further enhance the speed. He told "Fox News" interview, said he plans to create a new record in areas outside the United Kingdom, the United States to receive this honor. In addition, he also plans to use a female driver and two U.S. Navy F-18 pilots. If the challenge is successful, the women will be the first land speed record creator.
"Sonic the wind" in a few years after the first test, Starks has chosen several test sites, including Utah's Bonneville Speedway. sawgrass mills mall map The track length of 12 miles (about 19 kilometers), many speed records are born here, such as 1935 Malcolm - Campbell driving sawgrass mills mall map "Bluebird" to create a record score of 301 miles per hour (about every h 484 km). Compared with the Bonneville Speedway, Starks more concerned about Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni. This is the world's largest salt flats, there is no land speed record challenger here to attack the new record.
