The price of keeping development on schedule

price of accelerating product design

Traditionally, when planning prototype build it is quite normal to schedule 4-5 weeks for manufacture of parts.

To my dismay a fellow professional dismissed the Bloodhound SSC as being “a suped-up racing car”. I was disappointed because
