Thrust SSC 25th Anniversary: Andy Green

What does it feel like to drive a supersonic car, and what drives someone to keep pushing at the limits of technology? On 15 October 1997, Thrust SSC made history by becoming the first land vehicle to break the sound barrier. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of this extraordinary achievement, driver Andy Green visited Coventry Transport Museum to tell us more about his experience of the project.

MotorMinute - Triumph Stag
Просмотров 6032 года назад
Considered by some to be one of the most attractive post-war British built cars, the Stag was launched in June 1970 and attracted favourable comments from the motoring press. For example, in its 13th June edition, Motor Magazine said ‘the Triumph Stag has no British counterpart - a few close rivals from the car factories of other countries come to that’, while Autocar’s 30th July issue reported...

Top 10 Aura moments😊😊😢😢🎉❤😮🎉😅
Still Cool 😉
Yikes
I’m from Victoria school I’m coming here my name is Ahmed Chaudary see you there pickleball
2:10 ??
I was fortunate enough to have lunch with Andy Green & Richard Noble when they visited BAR F1. Wonderful gentlemen, Andy is a fantastic bloke. I still watch the video of Thrust SSC & it still amazes me! Awesome job
Nice bit of drone work. It's a terrible shame to see Coventry town centre now.
FANTASTIC 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 ❤❤
I ended up in Coventry Transport Museum by accident once when a coach trip went a bit pear shaped. So glad I did...it's a brilliant place. I had a way better afternoon than the event I was supposed to be at!
Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy; typically the shock front may approach 100 megawatts per square meter power, and may exceed 200 decibels. That's equivalent to 10% the power out put of a nuclear reactor ~ 1 Gigawatt. If you look at the false color images of the computational fluid dynamics that were performed on Thrust, you'll see that most of the energy is focused on a short section of the nose of Thrust just between the intakes of the engines. Andy talked about how they needed down force to counter the pressure from that transonic shockwave and particularly on the bottom side of the nose. Aviators refer to it as ground effect. The pressure is confined as it has nowhere to go. Now factor in the magnitude of the pressure being generated at that location every second (power=energy/time) and you can see how risky the adventure becomes. Truly an astonishing accomplishment and my hat goes off to Andy in particular. Being and RAF supersonic jet pilot he understood the risks. Back in 1997 my mind was blown by it all.
I remember this ride as child in the early late 70s in Newport gwent, in c&a’s, I have literally searched and searched for this ride, at one point I thought it was just something I had dreamt about, thank god I found it and I’m so happy!! Just a shame I can’t take my grandchildren on the ride to carry the on the memory. Thank u for this, btw whn I was tiny I really thought we were travelling to the North Pole and was convinced we travelled on that ride esp when the ride took u to Father Christmas!! Just by opening a door, but whn ur tiny u believe it’s true and don’t see the second door!!❤😂
Remember, innovation doesn't only live in a museum❤️
I remember watching this live on an early PC with a 9.6k modem. Lived in Ryton for 14 years (99-13) and loved the museum.
Nothing but respect for you Mr Green. I would like to offer $3 and a pack of ramen noodles for the new project. I might have a few extra pinto beans next month.
great post! However the first boneshakers in England weren't actually made in coventry they were made in Norfolk, the earliest example we know of I own and it was made in kings Lynn in 1867
It’s inconceivable that anyone other than Andy is even being considered to drive the new ssc for the land speed record run - he’s got the background the skills and experience that nobody else has - he’s been pivotal in its development since the days of this very car - it’s a bad idea and a bad media stunt just to secure funding and money - it could result in something very bad happening
Sammy Bartlett was a member of Anerley B.C
I’m looking for a Piatti motor
The SONIC BOOM referred @1:57 was heard all round the world! Do other viewers remember hearing this sonic boom in 1997, kindly comment . . . As for me I have no recollection of it in Mauritius
😂😂😂hilarious
well done andy the real top gun. and boy were you super cool doing it sir brilliant
Has the Thrust 2 simulator gone? The whole set up of the simulator, the aerial footage then the dramatic reveal of the car itself was the highlight of my trip.
It’s such a shame we lost Robin last year. Just like Jimmy saville, he will never be punished for the crimes he committed on young children. RIP Robin ‘dirty nonce’ Spalding
If Harry Webster was still in charge.. this would not have happened.. Donald Stokes was a pratt
Coventry was a legitimate military target. The RAF had already bombed cities and towns in Germany for six months.

I went to Coventry Transport Museum about 20 years ago on a school trip. I have a lot of nostalgia to see it again at some point.
I’ve went there for a trip
It would be nice if they bringit back to the United States so we can take a look at it.
I went and fired 2 ejection seat rocket motors in the front of the car at Farnborough in the 90s
Wow that 25yrs went by just about as fast Trust SSC went. Helluva thing to have been done, well done Andy and the whole team.
Yet another brilliant presentation by a professionally-inspired, understated man who has done something so emotionally important to me... and still very few people even know about it. Not a day goes by where I don't still think about the land speed record - from the moment I first saw Thrust 2 doing 633 mph in Nevada (recorded for me by my dad one night in Essex on an old VHS tape), to the excitement of receiving every Mach 1 Club newsletter whilst struggling through my university years, re-reading every tiny detail, again and again and again. I'm still hoping for a sizeable windfall so that I could inject life again into the Bloodhound project; and see 1000 mph broken on Hakskeen with the all of the latest aerial and flight-deck footage filmed in 8K resolution. It would be absolutely timeless in scope. I'm passionately, desperately, dreaming... that we can honour it. And when I say dreaming I mean in the very grounded sense of my actual dreams.
They're looking for a pilot for the new project. Mr Green won't be doing it this next time for some reason. "If you're waiting until you feel talented enough to make it, you'll never make it."
Richard Noble watched John Cobb as a child and became obsessed with speed. You seem quite passionate as well.
My sister had a Swallow Gadabout in the late 50s. The police used them at one time. I think they were a cool little machine that not many people remember now.
Very interesting insight into the history of the stag! will more of this interview with mr. Goult be available?
0:12 See that bot with the brown hair on the very left. Thats me!
That's the first I'd heard of this particular Stag gremlin.
How do I get in for free if I live in Coventry, do I need to show something?

@@harrygearing6488 brilliant thanks 👍🏻
Brilliant Video! SO compelling! I was fortunate to be involved in the SSC Project from 23rd Feb 1995 during the construction @ G-Force - Fontwell, Sussex, and then to Farnborough Airfield. From Feb 1995 thru to Oct 1997 it was an awesome experience! Thanks so much Richard Noble, Andy Green & Team!
I WAS THERE IN THE MUSEUM WATCHING THAT ON THE SCREEN A FEW HOURS AGO!
Thanks for coming!
@@ctmfootageonline Thanks!

Very Nice I like it.
I'm the urchin with the tomato, thanks for posting this.
I traveled from California in part to see this museum. It does not disappoint. It's almost as if the theme is "You think that was impressive, get a load of this!". I walked through a second time and stayed until closing. This and the Imperial War Museum at Duxford were the highlights of my trip.
Been here before this video I LOVE THE WW2 AREA WHERE ALARMS SOUND AND SOLDIERS 👍👍👍👍
Is Ted Simon's BMW a permanent part of the exhibit like his Triumph?
When I worked (job creation scheme), at the museum store in Curriers Close back in 1978, I was told that the last ones were going for only £2,000 😮
Lovely example of the vehicle.
middle part isnt Coventry
Exactly what I thought. Looks more like dresden
@@bluethunder6801 it is Dresden

WWI Maudslay lorry started up, yer--right, all we heard was crap music. Sad wankers at Coventry Transport Museum
I am a son of Coventry, born in Humber road, and my own children was and still do, live there, they are fed by the magic of Coventry, a fantastic knowledge you are creating, you are keeping our city alive,🙏👍🙌❤️ thank you ,
I was wondering what the music is called in the 1960 themed projection video ?
