FFE is bringing Bloodhound to FIREX

The jet-powered Bloodhound will first attempt to break the existing land speed record of 763 mph and, once that’s accomplished, it aims to break the 1,000 mph barrier in the coming years.Safety is paramount so Talentum flame detectors have been selected for the car.

By utilising infra-red sensing, Talentum UV/Dual detectors can detect visible and invisible flames from virtually any source, irrespective of any dust, steam or smoke present, and are immune to the effects of wind or draughts. They also give the highest immunity to false flame sources.

“Bloodhound is a truly prestigious and ambitious British engineering project and we are delighted that our Talentum flame detection products have been selected as part of the vitally important safety system,” comments FFE MD Mark Osborne. “We will be closely following the Bloodhound team’s progress as they attempt to break 1,000mph.”
