    内容简介:
    超音速车“寻血猎犬”号(BloodHound)设计者及驾驶者Andy Green “组成的“寻血猎犬”团队,为大家讲述“寻血猎犬”号极速项目背后的故事——追求速度的极限、创造新的记录并不是“寻血猎犬”号的唯一原因,更重要的是激发下一代青年对工程事业的热情、使其成为创造未来解决方案的人,让大家了解到,工程技术也可以是一件如此有趣的事。同时为大家讲述项目的最新进展,以及为大家解答技术方面的疑问,例如使用何种技术来挑战每小时1000英里(约1608公里)的陆地竞速理论极限。
    “寻血猎犬”号(BloodHound)是一款搭载了战斗机及火箭动力系统的超音速“汽车”,从研发、设计到制造均在英国完成。该车由3500个零部件组成,其中包括三台在“台风”战斗机上使用的劳斯莱斯200型引擎,一台火箭引擎,以及一台用于驱动火箭用的500匹马力的汽车引擎,总重近8吨,马力相当于180辆F1方程式赛车,2分钟后将跑到20公里之外。在2016年,BloodHound将挑战每小时1000英里(约1608公里,音速为每小时1126公里)的陆地竞速理论极限。

    主讲人简介:
    Dave commenced his engineering career with an electrical and electronic student apprenticeship at the British Aerospace site in Bristol working on the Concorde aircraft programme. His relationship with education started with spells in human resources, public relations, recruitment and schools liaison and he then joined a small team at the CBI Education Foundation to set up the UK Teacher Placement Service. This was followed by national roles with BAE Systems and Young Engineers to focus on the promotion of engineering and technology to young people and teachers. His work at The Royal Academy of Engineering concentrated on bringing coherence to the promotion of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) in schools and developing the BLOODHOUND SSC education programme.He is now living and working in South Africa and is setting up the Bloodhound education programme across all provinces.
