Loved the more formal style - less shake cam is always more good! Congratulations on the world record! That's a significant and fantastic feather in your cap, even if you might feel that the car was capable of so much more. Older and wiser you will be for your next attempt ;) I'd love to see version 2 of this car. Not sure whether steering was an included component of this build, but adapting the 'take off' or auto-recovery modes which I believe are built into RC aircraft such that you can hold the car in the middle of the runway could be helpful. An AI algorithm with a camera to assess position must be available somewhere, because how you'd steer the thing at 200+mph I just don't know. The results also speak to incremental improvements - did you take measurements of crosswind speed and have you measured how far that pushed you off track? I'd also love to see your take on active aero and ways to keep the car pressed down onto the track once you get to the point where you need solid tires. As discouraging as the final result was, I'm sure you're already itching to rebuild and get back out there...

I don't quite understand why their 137mph run didn't count since the footage clearly shows the nose cone came off AFTER it passed the speed gate. Do the rules say that it has to come to a complete stop for the run to be over?

@@aaronmicalowe I’m assuming so. If that wasn’t the case someone could literally just make a missile with wheels and record the max speed it reaches, even if it tears itself apart after.

Congrats on record! All the progress you made here was great, and there's definitely room for more. As a suggestion, aviation uses check lists to avoid missing important steps. A list of each step needing to be done when preparing the car probably would've caught the missing screws. Including weather conditions might've stopped the final attempt as well. When doing a failure cause analysis, it's never just one thing, and failures can be an opportunity to identify process changes which are capable of eliminating entire classes of failures in the future.

@Nick-hm9rh 9 ай бұрын

The single most important part to remember is, youre probably the weakest link. The car doesnt forget screws, you do. The car doesnt device to drive in bad conditions, you do. A list is a great way to somewhat support that weak link

@@Nick-hm9rh that, and modify the design where a human error can cause critical failures so that human error no longer happens.

@@WestonNey You would think that from how we dampen cameras on fpv quads but I experimented with dji on my Vendetta and the best/most tolerable video to drive with came from having an aluminum bar hard mounted to a carbon fiber center brace with the camera hard mounted to the aluminum bar above the roof of the car. I tried tpu flexible mounts like we'd normally use on a drone and it was horrible, no way you could drive with it. The biggest issue is even at 50-60mph you feel like you are hitting light speed and you kind of get tunnel vision and it's hard to see boundaries. inside a parking garage I was good because the walls formed an obvious boundary.

Build it again, do some wind tunnel test to the body to minimize the effect of crosswind, and next year absolutely crush that record!

Wow, thank you for sharing such amazing experiences, even if it wasnt the record, there was SO MUCH to be learned, and i think that's one of the most important things to remember! That is what sticks and is always used. Thank you for the amazing video! :)

This is about as real as video documentation for a project gets, and I respect that deeply. Engineering skills have been appropriately held in high esteem within civilized culture precisely because they embody the fine art of solving real world physical problems. Being an engineer is not easy, but the rewards of learning far overcome those most educational moments of heartbreak and failure. In the end, it's practically magic when we watch what was once considered impossible, taking place before our very eyes.

I used to have a RC P51 mustang that I build from nothing. I got it flying on rails, and after tinkering when I should've have, my next flight ended in the complete destruction of the plain. That feeling is devastating!! I totally feel you man!!

Awesome project! Always heartbreaking when something thing gose wrong and you can pin it all onto 1 bad decision, but I really hope this dosent put you off to try again the design had a lot of potential and having a chance to redo it givea you the chance to make it even better! I love to see you really put a jet car thought its paces and see what it can really achieve.
