The BBC have produced a number of excellent video clips featuring BLOODHOUND SSC. These clips can all be found in the BBC Learning Zone, but have been gathered together on this page.
We are sorry, but due to the licencing, these clips are only available to view in the UK.
Is Bloodhound SSC a car, a boat or a plane?
Duration: 07:07
Bloodhound Investigators find out if Bloodhound SSC is a car,a boat or a plane. They compare and contrast features of each with members of the Bloodhound team.

Why is it so hard for Bloodhound to travel so fast?
Duration: 09:00
Bloodhound Investigators find out about the effects of air resistance and air density on Bloodhound SSC. They also discover the importance of controlling stability, down force and lift on Bloodhound SSC.
Subject: Science
Topic: Forces: Pushes and Pulls
What's Bloodhound like to drive?
Duration: 07:33
Bloodhound Investigators find out why Bloodhound SSC will have a pilot rather than a driver and about the effects of gravity on their bodies.
