Not having a PhD I'm wondering about that thrust angle. Looking at the side
picture (and a few others) it appears the thrust axis is purely horizontal.
The front end will surely get "light" at any appreciable speed or thrust. I
would think a few degrees of "down axis" would help stability. Neat project
and a lot of fun, but no candidate for "Red Hat" speeds. :-) -Elon

this interesting project car. Maybe some already know about it.
