	Budweiser Rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Budweiser Rocket was a 3-wheeled land vehicle powered by a hybrid liquid and solid-fuel rocket engine that is claimed to be the first vehicle to have broken the sound barrier on land (near sea level) driven by Stan Barrett and designed and built by William Fredrick.
		There is much debate over the validity of the claim, and the Budweiser Rocket is generally not considered as the first vehicle to have broken the sound barrier on land.
		The Thrust SSC is recognized as breaking the sound barrier in 1997, with an average speed of 763.035 mph (1227.99 km/h) on a measured mile.

	Budweiser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Budweiser is the name for two separate popular brands of beer, one brewed in the Czech Republic and one based in the United States.
		The original use of the term Budweiser was used to refer to beer from the city of Ceske Budejovice in Bohemia (the modern Czech Republic) since 1265.
		Budweiser beer deteriorates quickly with age or excessive heat, so to ensure quality the company has fairly stringent requirements for handling and sale.

		ponsored by Budweiser the Budweiser rocket car was built in 1979 with the intention of being the first land vehicle to break the sound barrier in the "Project Speed of Sound".
		On December 17, 1979 Stan Barrett was strapped into the cockpit of the Budweiser rocket car waiting to make a final run in an attempt to be the first person to drive a land-bound vehicle faster than the speed of sound.
		The speed was estimated from a radar system at 38 miles per hour - though unfortunately this had been tracking a large truck in the distance, away from the track that the rocket car had used.

		Having been involved in supersonic research since the days of the XS -1 rocket plane, which I flew on the first supersonic flight on October 14, 1947, there is no doubt in my mind that the rocket car exceeded the speed of sound on its run on December 17, 1979.
		In fact it is widely known that the Budweiser rocket car is in fact a repainted version of his prior LSR project, The SMI Motivator and not a new vehicle specifically built for an assault on the sound barrier.
		The Budweiser team paid their people to perform this vital function, though it appears they may have overpaid if the results are any measure.

	Thrust SSC
		It was powered by 25 JATO (jet-assisted take-off) solid fuel rockets and driver Bobby Tatroe reached a peak of 580 mph, but ultimately the car just did not have enough thrust to maintain acceleration through the timing traps at world record speed.
		Unlike solid fuel rockets, liquid fuel rockets have the advantage that they can be actively throttled by the driver to control the amount of thrust produced.
		The rocket engine, designed specifically for the car, was capable of producing a staggering 58,000 hp for a period of 20 seconds, but for the record attempt it was restricted to 35,000 hp.
