Bloodhound in progress: Gearbox & rear suspension sub frame

The Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre showcase the designs of the rear suspension sub frame.

The University of Sheffield AMRC (Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre) are making key parts of the car including the all important rear suspension sub frame as well as supporting the manufacture, test and calibration of vital components for the UK Rocket test. The AMRC have exceptional resources and facilities avaiable in order to achieve the production of said components, as they are familiar with making high precision one-offs for use in validation technology for use in  high-risk, high-integrity environments, a skill set that perfectly suits Bloodhound.
