U.S. contractor Waldo Starks used a pilot military rocket plane, NASA spacecraft, and nuclear bomb components to manufacture a high-speed car called “Sonic Speed ​​Land Land Speed ​​Car†(hereinafter referred to as “Sonic Velocityâ€). The wind"). The "Sonic Wind" can reach a staggering 2,000 miles per hour (about 3,218 kilometers per hour), aiming to break the world's land speed record.
The "sonic wind" shape resembles a large and heavy metal plate of pearl strings. Looking at his work, Starks looked proud and happy. On the edge of the Mojave Desert, Starks also built a garage specifically for "wind of sound". Starks is a contractor during the day. In the evening, he spends most of his time making "wind of sound". The multi-round javelin car is 50 feet long (about 15.24 meters). Starks hopes it can break the land speed record created in 1997. If the car is driving at the highest speed, it will have driven out 1.5 miles (about 2414 meters) when people read its name. Most people call it "LSRV".
The "Sonic Wind" uses military X-15 rockets, "Redstone" and "Chorus" nuclear bombs, and parts of the United States "Apollo" service module. On October 3, 1967, the X-15 rocket aircraft created a sub-orbital speed record that has not yet been broken, with a score of 4,519 miles per hour (about 7,272 kilometers per hour). According to Starks, he bought these parts in the 1980s and used only a few thousand dollars. He plans to buy a methanol-liquid oxygen blend to make the "wind of sound" almost exactly the same as a controlled bomb.
Starks pointed out that in theory, his engine can produce about 60,000 pounds (about 27,215 kilograms) of propulsion, exceeding the US Air Force's X-15. "Sonic Wind" is able to maintain an acceleration of 100 miles per second (approximately 160 kilometers per hour) with a top speed of 1400 to 2000 miles (approximately 2253 to 3,218 kilometers per hour). Starks's design uses shock waves generated by supersonic speeds to buffer and stabilize the “sonic windâ€.
He said that "wind of sound" can break the sound barrier - about 760 miles per hour (about 1223 kilometers per hour). - Continue to drive smoothly. At near-sonic speeds, drivers on land and supersonic pilots experience shocks from shock waves. When challenging land speed records, this kind of shock can cause catastrophic shifts, causing the car to deviate from the straight line. According to Starks, driving after breaking the sound barrier is very smooth. In terms of design, the "sonic wind" uses a moving wing. The shape is aerodynamic and creates less pressure under the car. The seven small wheels at the front of the "sonic wind" and the two fixed wheels at the rear - the rims moving along a triangle - add vital stability.
The “sonic wind†tail adopts a rocket-like fin structure and is responsible for dispersing shock waves on both sides of the car. Starks uses a transverse shock wave in the same way as a bicycle-assisted wheel. He hopes to smoothly break the sound barrier through this design, and at the same time increase the speed even with less turbulence. In an interview with Fox News, he said that he plans to create a new record outside the United Kingdom and let the United States win this honor. In addition, he also plans to use a female pilot and two U.S. Navy F-18 pilots. If the challenge is successful, women will be the creators of land speed records for the first time.
The first test of Sonic Wind was conducted several years later. Starks had already selected several test sites, including the Beauneville Race Track in Utah, USA. The track is 12 miles (19 kilometers) long and many speed records are born here. For example, in 1935, Malcolm Campbell's record of driving "Bluebird" was 301 miles per hour (about an hour). 484 km). Stakes pays more attention to the Uyuni salt marshes in Bolivia compared to the Burnsville race track. This is the largest salt flat in the world. There are no land speed record challengers here to attack the new record.
Unique tail design. Starks said that the "tail fin" can spread the impact to the sides of the car.
The X-15 is still an airspeed record holder with a score of 7272 kilometers per hour. The "sonic wind" is the X-15 engine.
