Jet Bike?!
A jet-powered vehicle that can travel the length of a football field in the blink of an eye will attempt to break the world two-wheeled land speed record later this year. The goal of the Jet Bike- built by a team in Britain and dubbed Jet Reaction- is to travel more than 400 mph (644 km/h), or 587 feet per second, in order to beat the current fastest motorcycle record of 376.36 mph (605.69 km/h), set by an American team in 2010. The speedy vehicle is powered by a modified helicopter engine. In contrast, with all past record holders the Jet Reaction is 20 feet (6.1 m) long and weighs 1,235 lbs. (560 kilograms) with fuel and oil.
