- James Whomsley (UK), known for his “backyard aerospace engineering” TH-cam channel @Project-Air has set a record for the fastest speed achieved by a remote controlled (RC) jet powered car.
James’s car reached the blistering speed of 152.50 km/h (94.76 mph) and said that this was the “most stressful, draining, and heartbreaking project” he’s ever done.

Fastest RC Car in the World 329 km/h
Had no idea Guinness did this as a record. I have rocket powered R/C as well, Last time we ran her on the expressway she passed me going over 100 mph
Get it in the game boss! I was thinking 90 something mph was pretty unimpressive. Should be way higher.
Link to video?
@@onjofilms For using a jet engine, 90 is very impressive.
He achieved 137 mph, it just didn't count since the car lost it's nose. So it absolutely is possible to get it much faster, he had bad luck that day.
that's a separate record to the jet powered rc car
Congrats James! This was a great achievement, even though the car experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly… It did also pass 88mph, so all it was missing was a flux capacitor 😊
Oh wow a Elon Musk vocabulary !
Congratulations James, great to see you got the record.
Project Air is a great TH-cam channel!
I actually watched his video on the creation of the car and am happy to see that the record got officially recognized!
Well done young man loved it. Keep going
I watched the whole project from start to finish. It was excellent and really looked like it had a lot left in it.
I am hoping you'll repair it and try again.
This is so cool i didn’t even thing an rc car can go that fast🎉
The world record for battery powered rc car is 219mph
This was very cool to watch. Congratulations
Keep going with the amazing achievements!
Congrats ProjectAir
Great job James!!!
94MPH! - I will tell others 137 :) Woo Hoo!
Rossa inspired me to engineer a set of high speed tires. I used 3" ID silicone car turbo tube (5mm thick w/ 3 ply reinforcing) as tires. Cut to 1.5" W rings and Glued them to 3"/2.2" 1:10 scale SC truck wheels. I would recommend 1:8 scale 4" wheels for your projects.
Very impressive. Don't give up, go for broke and break your own record.
Congratulations kuya James. It was exciting to see the car get the record and saddening when it was destroyed.
Thought this was a Project Air video at first. Cool to see Guinness gave him his own video, but kinda weird it’s just a rip of James’ video
Interesting and cool world record - congratulations!
So happy you got it!
That is some crazy speed😮
Very cool project. Congratulations. It was a lot of work I imagine.
Super cool stuff 😮
Brilliant that you kept trying!
I didn't know a jet powered car was a world record. 97mph seems slow though compared to the rc car speed record
Remember the sentence... Hardwork is the key to success.. 💫
Congrats!!!
great work James anyway, you got the record dude
👌🏾🫡💪🏽🤙🏾....Absolutely Awesome....This is about to be attempted every year🤞🏾
That was amazing!!!
Congratulations on your World Record!!!
Take what you learned here on your next build. No strong cross winds next time. Scrub the run if weather conditions are not favorable!!
Cheers!!!

Very cool!
Nice pull Brah, considering . Not long ago you started with 3 sticks and some wheels . Go Team Project Air. !!
Awesome, great things might happen when you tinker around with tech…inspiring 🎉🎉🎉
Crazy watching something so small go so quick looked a hell of a lot faster than it was
Congratulation brother, love from india
Not many people on the planet have a world record at anything, and you had to work for yours !! Great job, but I think that design has more speed in it. Would love to see you try again !
New Record, awesome. Does that bring new motivation to continue, improve, and raise this record to some incredible speed ? The car has it in it.
Bro went faster than lightspeed
crazy that sam is about to throw down 100mph plus with motors. you'd think jet power would be faster 😹
great video!!! ^w^
well done! 👍
you can redesign it, and i'm sure you can go faster!
from Australia.
wow and congrats! does that have afterburners?
This deserves a Thrust 2 scale mock-up
Congratulations James
Welcome to the future add plasma aerodynamics
Cheers
He got the record!
You do know those same tires are going over 200mph in other cars. So they should be the least of your worries
he actually did it proud of him
Calling them “cars” is a bit of a misnomer. They are really just a jet engine on wheels. 👍👍👍
Ha ha that’s just so funny
kevin talbot was there to, there are some more clips of this car on talbots channel, also on james's channel.
Proud of you and create more World Records
3D printing is amazing for prototyping, but for record breaking attempts he should really get some fibre glass/carbon fibre body panels.
Let's go!!
Well done, you got the record... What you need to do now is look into point of pressure and point of thrust. Add caster to the steering. and also look into overall aero. have a good look at world speed record machines like Bill Fredrick's rochet car. Golden Arrow, Thrust, Speed Demon.....They're all that shape for a reason.
Nice
Congratulations james, sorry about the crash, flying has the same possibilitys for a crash, new or old. Thats part of being a person that thinks outside the box. Some things work well, other ideas at times do not. Hang in there james.
I have been waiting with baited breath from the rebuild and the re-run. Do you have some time lines?
a jet car could actually be incredibly fast around corners because you could angle the jec slightly down to get hella downforce
I’m certain I watched this months ago. Congratulations all the same!
Really should get with Raz for a lot of your parts. His stuff is amazing and will cut down on some of the weight potentially
It was very impressive I'd say rebuild add some dive planes for a little down force and try it again
Cant wait for version 3.0 make it wider with a functional air brake like bugatti esk
Wow!!!
Awesome work, you need FPV on that jet car. Break another record.
Kevin Talbot was there for sure!!
Back to the drawing board good luck, hope to see you break your own record..
This RC car reminds me of "Thrust II"
Fantastic safety. Fences that every car can drive under?
You would think that the tire manufacturer would have prebalanced the tires before shipping them to the customer.
Maybe add a parachute you could pull after the finish line?
Have you ever thought about adding an electric motor and fan to suck the car down to the runway? Like the Brabham fan car?
Did anyone else come here expecting a much higher speed? I was expecting 200mph lol.
PAZZESCO!
Richard Hammond, the scale version.
You can hear Kevin cheering in background after speeds were relayed.
try skatebord wheels next time
U needed rudders to be able to steer it in that cross wind
How do you steer at such speeds without oversteer? How do you steer when visual feedback disappears due to distance?
Late upload.. watched Talbot's vid a while ago.
Nice🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Imagine being faster than a old van
Congratulations on the World record. Terrific job, but everything comes at a price.
In order for a landspeed record to stand you have to make two runs back to back and take the average of the two.
Congratulations James! Great to see you finally got the record. But I´m wondering why the drivers stand is behind the model at the starting line, rather then in the middle of the track distance? Is it due to safety regulations or competition rules?
There is some competition with electric rc boats in Germany called "SAW" where the pilot is placed near the measuring section: th-cam.com/video/SCywrCH-Ujs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HwynhlXYyJ9w7IiL.
If your happy an you know it clap your hands .........nice rc speed run hope I'm around for next run time you get it running faster.happy New mph kph and that Kevin Talbot car the sausage man electric rc 4 motor 250.kph sick n speed fast
Gotta go the other direction too
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
It sounds like a mini J79.
so sorry - but woooohoooooo!!! congrats
Which model of jet engine is that by the way?
JAMES WHOMSLEY
Your nose cone was generating lft thats why it flew up because of the curve u had fast air ontop and slow air below. Also the symmetric areofoils at the back do nothing but increase drag
I'd liked to have heard ALL the sounds at the track and of the car. No music.
downforce vacuum powered by a jet engine would hold that sucker to the ground
just watched a video from another TH-camr who clocked his car (live on video) at almost 170MPH. it's battery powered. I figured Jet powered would be like 300 or something. I wonder why it's so much slower than battery powered?
James, the nose is not a good choice and there's way too much rolling resistance in your tires especially with the downforce the current nose is generating. Scaled for that track they wheels/tires need to be very narrow, hard and fairly tall. You shouldn't need that much downforce in the nose (perfect aerodynamics would be a teensie but under nose lifting, though you won't want to be QUITE that close). I'm sure that you've seen the Bloodhound SSC (pretty much perfect aerodynamics for a rocket car) and that would be an EXCELLENT basis, but at this scale you'll need a wider stance (not the body, just the wheels) and taller wheels/tires because the scale surface that you're running on is MUCH rougher and bumpier than the salt flats. A larger diameter wheel will bridge a lot of the roughness. Tall thin wheels will also act as vertical stabilizers, and you won't have to enclose them because the rolling turbulence that they generate will be negligible. Looking forward to checking up on you. Good luck!
AAAWWW It's a shame about the crash. I bet if you had a calm day and another (guessing) $8000 bucks to rebuild it, that car would hit 150+ easy.
Strange comentator sound quality in this video
His poor face after the crash! 💔
Congrats on the record but mate did you really taped the car and tried to run 100 mph?
All I've got to say is pull air through the turbine from the bottom of the car and you will shatter records
🙏 BALI INDONESIA 🇮🇩
Now just add wings
