I doubt they'd go to all the bother of designing and building the
whole car, then slap on a wing designed to fly in a comletely
different speed range. Green Bird was brilliant! 126 mph in 30 ish
winds. Wish I'd known they were there, the dry lake (Ivanpah) where
they set the record is only 10 - 12 miles from Jean, the airport I fly
from.
