“The UK is facing an engineering skills shortage and we need projects like Bloodhound SSC to inspire a new generation of engineers and scientists about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths subjects.
“The open access nature of the project means that the advances made to develop this car could potentially be used in a myriad of different applications and by different industries.
“The whole Institution is looking forward to following the test runs and the 1,000mph record attempt in South Africa next year.”
