Neil, hi, Thanks for clarifying this. I've added a note to the post about this. I realize the mechanical design was not done using SolidWorks. I stated that the initial up-front design, however, was. But I don't mind pointing out the fact that NX was used in the process. All the programs used is something missing in a lot of cases studies and is extremely difficult to track down. Thanks again!

All mechanical design done on Bloodhound is actually done on NX. The design team, led by John Piper, as using NX to design the car. The surface of the car wasn't done in NX and the CFD is done by Swansea University and their own code. The renderings you see here weren't done on NX either.

However, I can assure you that the mechaincal design of the car isn't done using Solidworks. I know this as Siemens PLM are already a technical partner to the Bloodhound team.

Andy Green will be the driver and he's also the one that broke the sound barrier in the Thrust SSC, so yeah, he is definitlye a speeeeeed junkieeee. can you even imagine 2-3g's pushing against you. At 1000+ MPH, I guess it doesn't matter if the intake is right above your head.

Anyone who drives this must be a speed junkie. Totally awesome rendering and section views.
