The British car designed to go 1,000mph (1,610km/h) will make its first public runs in Cornwall later.
Bloodhound SSC is conducting initial "slow-speed" trials and should get up to about 200mph (320km/h) on the runway at Newquay Airport.

Driven by RAF Wing Commander Andy Green, the car aims to break the world land speed record in 2019.
This will take place on a special track that has been prepared on a dried-out lakebed in Northern Cape, South Africa.

"This is about showing the world what we're about," said Wing Commander Green.
"We've designed and built the most extraordinary, sophisticated, high-performance land speed record car in history. It will do 0-200mph in about eight seconds.
For a five-tonne vehicle - that's eye-popping performance," he told BBC News.

Gotta be the most pointless record.  Just an exercise in keeping a jet engine on the ground.

Yes. But once they start chasing these records there's no stopping them.
