Bluebird K7 Jet-Boat

1,721 HBirdmanAATL  8.9 years ago

This is a recreation of the world famous Bluebird K7 Jet-boat. Built and piloted by Donald Campbell the Bluebird was the first successful example of a jet powered hydroplane breaking several speed records through out the 50's and 60's. Unfortunately part of the reason why this boat is so famous is because on Campbell's final attempt to break 300mph the boat lost control and crashed killing it's pilot. With a top sustained speed of 349mph this virtual recreation is faster than it's real life counter-part. However I would still be careful about trying to turn at full speed.

    @reistadmo Yeah...no. This was built from scratch and looks nothing like anything you've uploaded. Plus, technically I took the design from Donald Campbell since it's based on his boat.
