I also feel the same way about using reaction motors (jets and rockets) to set land and water speed records - they seem to fall into the rather arbitrary category of "let's do everything we can to go as fast as possible except put wings on on it."
Ultimately, though, it is even more about the courage to try it than the technology.
- S_A_P 8y agoindeed- the idea that you can strap a rocket to anything to increase its velocity really only serves to advance things like braking and tire technology. That is, however, a valid pursuit.
- NullPrefix 8y ago>except put wings One could argue that spoilers fall into the category of wings. Only difference is the lift direction.
- mannykannot 8y agoOne could be technically correct, while missing the point, by so arguing.
