Re: Brits Claim Steam Record; Thrashed to the Last Minute
I have a question about this steam record , How can a turbine engine record compete against a piston engine for a record?
Not knowing the rules for land speed racing , it's like comparing apples and oranges (yes they're a fruit but they are different) is this how it is done for the fastest speed record overall?
I guess (answering my own question) they where for the fastest steam powered record, but if that's all they got with this attempt I think someone should try to break the new record, possibly with a piston type engine.
