Stresses and strains of a world beating supercar

Article Abstract:

Innovative Business Solutions (INBIS) was commissioned to design the engine intakes and the nose cone for Richard Noble's Thrust SSC project. INBIS was asked to design the seven-ton 'plane on the ground' vehicle in such a way that it would stay on the ground and remain in one intact piece. INBIS applied modern aerospace design techniques for the 'supercar.' The engine intake barrels were modelled using parametric solid modelling obtained from the point of data. INBIS also used Finite Element Analysis to identify which panels would be carbon fiber or aluminum.

In the hot seat

Article Abstract:

Considerable attention has been given to the selection and location of the instrumentation and controls for the ThrustSSC supersonic car. It was decided to use analogue instruments, rather than digital ones, as these are easier to read quickly using peripheral vision. Switches are all large, as they must be operated with gloved hands, and up is used for on throughout. The bespoke steering wheel is based on an existing aircraft wheel, and is a yoke style.
