Bloodhound Live in Newquay
19 measurement sensors are installed on the supersonic car measuring fuel level, hydrogen peroxide level, air brake door angle, suspension deflection, accelerator and brake to name a few.
Our sensors are located around the car for a host of different purposes including:
Front Winglets: 360° Rotary Sensor Front suspension, 2 Blade25 Position Sensors Brakes, 2 Brake Stand-off Sensors HTP (concentrated hydrogen peroxide) tank, 2 Industrial Level Sensors Fuel bladder tank, Capacitive Liquid Level Sensors Aviation fuel tank, Capacitive Liquid Level Sensors Air brakes, 2 360° Rotary Sensors Rear Winglets, 360° Rotary Sensor Rear suspension, 2 Blade25 Position Sensors
All of the sensors installed within Bloodhound SSC need to endure the extreme temperatures and the dry and dusty environment generated by the South African lake bed, which is the chosen location for the record attempt.
