Jet Blast and the hand of fate
by John Ackroyd
|
|
|
|
|
John Ackroyd, design engineer extraordinaire, has been a key
man in a mad mix of land speed auto racing and long distance
balloon record attempts, including the first supersonic land speed
record.
This book gives a fantastic insight into the frustrations,
tragedies, and triumphs of record breaking. It describes battles
against the odds, the whims of the weather, the constraints of time
and money, and the often strange intervention of fate. Project Thrust,
Virgin Atlantic, Pacific and global balloons, Earthwinds, Thrust SSC,
Spirit of American, rocket motorcycle, rocket dragster, wheel-driven
record breakers, and waterspeed attempts are all here. The story is
told by the man who provided solutions, innovations, design, and
real problem solving, which were major contributions to the record
breaking achievements on land, sea, and air in the last quarter of the
20th Century.
