North American Eagle Project
Land speed record attempt
North American Eagle Project
The North American Eagle Project was a jet powered car that was intended to challenge the 763 mph (1,228 km/h) (Mach 1.02) land speed record set by the ThrustSSC in 1997. The venture was a collaboration between Canadian and US engineers, pilots, and mechanics. In 2013, they had hoped to reach 800 mph (1,287 km/h), or Mach 1.058. In a land speed record attempt on August 27, 2019, the North American Eagle crashed, killing driver Jessi Combs. During the run, Combs did set a new world land-speed record for a woman, at 522.783 mph (841.338 km/h). Since the crash, the project has been abandoned.
