North American Eagle - Rapid Photogrammetry and Accurate 3D Scanning for Crucial CFD Analysis

What happens when you combine the thrilling automotive race world with a jet engine?  You get one SUPER fast car with 50,000 horsepower.  You will learn how a group of men and women, from the United States and Canada, are building the world's fastest automobile. Our goal is to break the current world land speed record of 763 MPH (341.09 m/s), set on October 15, 1997. In October of 1997 RAF Pilot Andy Green drove the Thrust SSC to a new world record of 763 MPH (Mach 1.02). For over 25 years now the British have held the record. We feel it's time to bring the record back to North America, but it will take a team effort and a major/primary sponsorship to make it happen.
