Test Rig (Update)

Following the media storm last week on the fitting of Andy Green into his cockpit, various stories have appeared across the web varying from how we fitted the ergonomic rig around the land speed record holder to how a few of us ‘engineering students’ have designed the entire car.

Finally though, after sending some links through to various blogs, some of the design magazines have started to find the story, and seem to be pretty accurate. I am just happy that I am quoted. Pictures aren’t too bad either.

Test Rig Event

Yesterday we all met with Andy Green and the Bloodhound team in order to fit him into our ergonomic test rig. This was an amazing experience, not just because we got to see just how specific and accurate the set up needed to be, but also due to the sheer volume of press…

Here are a few of the articles I have found thus far from the event, will update as I find more.

BBC General Press Release

ITV (News before the event)

Matt Ohman’s Photos (images from the event kindly uploaded by Matt)

West Business

Press Association

RAC (We all apparently designed the entire car now)

The National Newspaper (more of a general release, not so much on the cockpit fitting)

CBBC (for those of you who need the Bloodhound project explained in easy language)
