The front half of the car is brutally ventilated with multiple air scoops to feed the ravenous supercharger and to cool the engine, brakes and transmission heatexchanger.
The cost and time of prototyping new designs, from a new turbine blade to a new solar panel mounting bracket or an intricately designed heatexchanger, could drop dramatically.
At Mach 4 or 5, the air flow would become dangerously hot but this heatexchanger - consisting of a dense and closely-guarded bundle of tiny tubes - would chill things down to a manageable temperature in milliseconds.
