Tags, ,

I led a student project to design and make a rig to define the cockpit ergonomics for a 1000mph Supersonic Car.
The cockpit ergonomics test rig went on to be exhibited at the Design Museum in London and was featured in both National & International media.
On the day of the final crit, I woke up to a 7:30am phone call, there would be 8 media teams in our crit this morning. OMG! That was a fun and amazing day.

One student went on to undertake a year long project which included designing and making the steering wheel for the actual car.
