{"Image ImageDescription": "BRISTOL, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 24: The exterior of the Bloodhound SSC vehicle is seen on display inside the design centre in Avonmouth on February 24, 2016 in Bristol, England. It is hoped that when finally completed, the Bloodhound SSC supersonic car will beat the current land speed record of 763mph or 1228km/h. The bid to break the land-speed record was due to have taken place this year on a specially prepared dried out lake bed in South Africa, but has now been postponed until 2017 due to lack of necessary funds. It is hoped that the car, which is powered by a Eurofighter jet engine and a rocket, will be tested before the end of this year at Newquay Airport. Although the Bloodhound SSC is a private venture, it has substantial in-kind support from the UK government and is being used as a education resource with the hope that it will encourage more pupils to follow science and technology-related courses.
