Tonbridge School Students Produce Rocket

It may not reach the stars, but the rocket car reached high speeds.

Tonbridge School students are dabbling with building a rocket-powered car. No, not a real one, just a model.

The Junior House Engineering Competition sees Design Technology and Physics working together to give boys an opportunity to design, build and race a rocket-powered model car. 

The Whitworth House built car, clocked up speeds of over 100mph.

Our future car builders perhaps?
