Editing ThrustSSC (section)

==Legacy==
In 1983 Richard Noble had broken the world land speed record with his earlier car [[Thrust2]], which reached a speed of {{convert|1,019|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. The date of Andy Green's record came exactly a half century and one day after [[Chuck Yeager]] broke the sound barrier in Earth's atmosphere, with the [[Bell X-1]]
research rocket plane on 14 October 1947.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gill|first=Kathy|title=First supersonic flight in rocket-powered research plane|url=https://wiredpen.com/2022/10/14/first-supersonic-flight-in-rocket-powered-research-plane/|website=WiredPen|access-date=15 October 2022}}</ref>

Both Thrust SSC and Thrust2 are displayed at the [[Coventry Transport Museum]] in [[Coventry]], England. Visitors can ride a 4D [[Simulator ride|motion simulator]] depicting a computer-generated animation of the record-breaking run from the perspective of Green.<ref>[https://www.transport-museum.com/visiting/biffa_award_land_speed_record_exhibition.aspx Coventry Transport Museum – Landspeed Gallery]</ref>

Several teams are competing to break the record, including the [[Bloodhound LSR]] project, launched in 2008,<ref name="Bloodhound SSC">[http://www.bloodhoundssc.com/news/noble-green-and-team-target-1000mph-record Noble, Green and Team Target 1,000mph Record].
