BBC News - UK rocket test for 1,000mph car: "The first full test firing of the rocket that will power a British car to over 1,000mph (1,600km/h) will take place in the coming months.
Producing 122kN (27,000lb) of thrust, the hybrid Falcon motor will be the largest rocket to be ignited in the UK for 20 years.
It will not be the only power unit in the Bloodhound vehicle when it tries to break the land speed record next year."
