Richard Noble

Project Director

 

Against a background of today’s low risk culture, Richard specialises in developing high risk ventures. Obviously not all of them can be successful, but the Thrust2 programme which brought the World Land Speed Record back to Britain in 1983 and the ThrustSSC first ever supersonic land speed record programme are the best known.

Other projects include the ARV Super2 light aircraft, the Atlantic Sprinter Blue Riband contender, Programme Funding, an original television funding company, and the last, Farnborough Aircraft, which is creating the first point to point taxi aircraft.

These projects all started very small and being original in concept attract only very limited resource.

Richard Noble visits the Northern Cape

Thursday, 17 January, 2013 - 14:18

The opportunity for the Bloodhound team to say thank you to the Hakskeenpan workers and their families came about when Richard Noble visited the Northern Cape in December. The mammoth task the workers have undertaken over the past year was to clear the 20 km track of 6,000 tonnes of stones and rocks, resulting in the first world record associated with the Bloodhound Project – the largest land mass cleared by hand and the equivalent of 4,000 football pitches!
