About the speakers:
Richard Noble OBE
Against a background of today's low risk culture, Richard Noble specialises in developing high risk ventures. Obviously not all of them can be successful, but the Thrust2 programme which brought the World Land Speed Record back to Britain in 1983 and the Thrust SSC first car to travel faster than the speed of sound are the best known.
Richard Noble's other projects include the ARV Super2 light aircraft, the Atlantic Sprinter Blue Riband contender and currently the 1,000 mph BLOODHOUND SSC, an international education initiative focused around building and running the ultimate jet and rocket powered racing car. http://www.bloodhoundssc.com/project/team/richard-noble
