spitz, the chief engineer at one of our u.s. test facilities. don, tell us about what we re looking at. reviewing a jump we did recently at our windless facility. least amount of wind turbulence. live clip schematic. check. so we re designing a vehicle that will be as comfortable in the air as it is on the ground. what we re looking at is 4,000 tons of steel. the car itself is a one of a kind custom built vehicle designed to fly but a sudden gust of wind could prove fatal. by the time he hits the jump he must be at 109 miles an hour and accelerating. take your foot off the gas and the car will pitch forward and spear grill first into the ramp. and that is exactly what you are about to see. here we go. although the driver was okay, the facility uses these films to analyze what went wrong. he leaves the top well hitting 64 miles per hour at the base. about 120 feet from the launch ramp his speed is actually too high. a yellow driver slows but his speed drops too far. he
