A six foot adult can't possibly fit into that.
Its a normal supercar having same size like the Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porche, and so on. A six foot adult wil definitely fit in. Just the design and medical equipments makes it different.
The new fleet, which was unveiled in Dubai's Gitex, also includes two Ford Mustangs, with a new Corvette on the way.

Wow, truly fascinating. Imagine the amount of gold stored away, versus the one beneath the ocean that we can't access. Nice work, Explorers.
Comparing the amount of gold ever explored in the history of mankind with the hidden amount of gold beneath the sea bed,l/earth is like taking a spade full of sand from a beach.

THE BLACKBIRD IS A RETIRED PLANE. ITS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

MOST SUPER SONIC PLANES ARE PRONE TO CRASH AND ALSO COSTLY TO MANUFACTURE AND MAINTAIN.

HAVE YOU READ ABOUT CONCORDE AND RUSSIAN MADE TUPOLEV?

THESE ARE PASSENGER PLANES THAT FLEW ABOVE MACH 2.

CONCORDE ONCE BROKE A RECORD OF FLYING FROM LONDON TO NEW YORK AT 2 HOURS 54 SECONDS. A DISTANCE NORMAL PASSENGER PLANE COVER IN 7-8 HOURS.

DUE TO THE EXTREME HIGH ALTITUDE SUPER SONIC PLANES FLY; THE MANUFACTURERS ARE YET TO GIVE IT THE PERFECT LANDING.

I HEARD BOEING HAS FILED TO MAKE A SUPERSONIC PLANE.

LETS SEE HOW IT GOES.
Yeah, the planes are out of service/retired but the speed remains unbeaten.

12. Fastest Rapper.


No Clue obtained the title of “fastest rap MC” in the Guinness Book of World Records when he did 723 syllables in 51.27 seconds. That’s about 14.1 syllables per second.

8. Fastest Fishes.

* Sailfish(Istiophorus platypterus).


Maximum speed 110 km/hr (68 mph). They are found in the Indian and Pacific oceans and they have a distinctive sail-like dorsal fin that gives them their name. They have a long, sharp bill that they use for hunting and they feed on tuna, mackerel and other fish.



* Blue Shark(Prionace glauca).

Maximum speed 69 km/hr (43 mph). They inhabit the deep waters of the world's temperate and tropical oceans. They mainly feed on small fishes, squid, and sometimes they take larger prey. They often school segregated by sex and size, and this has led to their nickname of "Wolves Of The Seas".

7. The Fastest Rollercoaster(Devil's Ride).


The fastest rollercoaster in the world is called the Formula Rossa and is located at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi. This rollercoaster is launched, meaning that it used hydraulic pressure to propel it to its top speed (150 mph, by the way, which it reaches in approximately 5 seconds.) Because of it's extreme speed, the track is also very long (or else the ride wouldn’t last any time at all), coming in at 2.2 km, the world’s 6th longest. It goes so fast that the people who ride it need to wear protective goggles, lest they come into contact with an insect-turned-diamond by speed.

6. Fastest Land Animal.


Although a cheetah has spots, it typically just becomes a black-and-beige blur as it skitters through the air at speeds up to 75 miles per hour. That’s right, the cheetah can run as fast as a greyhound bus. Its acceleration can get up to 62 mph in the first 3 seconds of its sprint, which is faster than most cars. To think that a gazelle, although quick, can only run at about 50 mph tops, it’s a wonder that there are any of them left since they are one of the cheetah’s main sources of tasty, rare meat.

5. The Fastest Ambulance.


The world’s fastest ambulance, the Lotus Evora, was premiered at Gitex in Dubai’s World Trade Center. This emergency vehicle is absolutely one of a kind, being made out of a $150,000 car. At that price, it can reach 185 miles per hour, which is tempered a little by the fact that it’s only a two-seater, but in matters of life and death, every second counts. The ambulance is outfitted with a control box, a siren, flashing lights, and a hard-screen notebook that allows the paramedics to send information about the passenger to the hospital they’re travelling towards.

4. The Fastest Computer.


Does it come as any kind of surprise that the fastest computer in the world, called the Tianhe-2, would come from China? The orient is a mysterious locale of technological supremacy. This particular computer can run 33.86 quadrillion floating point operations in 1 second. That’s 4000 times better than Apple’s most powerful Mac. It’s located in China’s National University of Defense Technology. It runs on a form of Linux that was specifically designed for it by that institution and costs more or less $390 million.

3. The Fastest Man.


An eight-time world champion of sprinting, Usain Bolt has been named the fastest man alive (born in Jamaica, in 1986, he is currently 29 years old.) He is the first man to hold both the 100 meter and 200 meter world records and he is also the first man to have six Olympic gold medals in sprinting. Although his actual name implies speed enough as it is (yes, his actual name is Bolt), he has been nicknamed “Lightening Bolt” to further enhance the imagery of high speed. He is the highest-paid track and field athlete of all time.

2. Fastest Plane(Manned).

* X-15


X-15 set a number of records for top speed and highest altitudes in 1960s as it achieved a top speed of 4,520 mphat an altitude of more than 62 miles. X-15 also holds the record for the fastest speedever recorded by a manned aircraft. It was a part of the x-plane fleetwhich was an experimental aircraft operation jointly run by NASA and US Air Force. X-15 was taken off the fleet in 1970 as other aircraft were featured into the operation.



* The SR-71 Blackbird.


Although it’s almost half a century old, but no plane has beaten it since in speed. It can thank its engine nacelle forits haste. It has bypass tubes that only activate after it reaches mach 2.2, which funnel air into the afterburner and make the plane a paragon of fuel and energy efficiency, even this late in the game. The piece of equipment is, none-too-surprisingly, an American creation, which was retired from the USAF in ‘98 and from NASA in’99.

Another source says;


SR-71 Blackbird was also developed by Lockheed in 1960s under the project called ‘black project. The project was highly classified as the aircraft was being designed to trace down potential threats during reconnaissance missions. Its purpose was to outfly the air missiles fired at it. SR-71 was capable of reaching a top speed of more than 2,200 mph at a height of 24,400 meters. The performance and achievements of the SR-71 Blackbird makes it one of the best aircraft in the world and also includes it in the list of top ten fastest airplanes in the world 2015.

1. Fastest Car.


The unofficial fastest road car in the world is the Hennessey Venom GT, which reached 270.49 miles per hour in 2014. By doing that, it beat out previous winner Bugatti Veyron Supersport and is now the fastest road car in the world. However, the score wasn’t recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records, because it requires a run in two directions, which the car was unable to complete on its track, the NASA Space Shuttle landing runway. So for the time being, the fastest car according the industry standard is the Bugatti Veyron SuperSport, which goes from 0 to 60 in just 2.4 seconds.

Nairaland General › The Top Fastest Things Around The World(2015). by Explorers(op):
Up until mid century, the fastest thing in the world,apart from light, was sound. Travelling at 343 meters per second (1230 kph or 767 mph), sound was faster than even the most devastating craft of war. But then, in 1947, Air Force Captain Charles “Chuck” Yeager broke the sound barrier in Glamorous Glennis, his Bell X-1 aircraft. It was such an accomplishment at the time that he and the team he worked with were honored at the White House by Commander in Chief Harry S. Truman.The next year, in 1948, a Northrop unmanned rocket sled became the first land vehicle to achieve supersonic speed, reaching 1,020 mph before careening off the rails. “She jumps the tracks! Rocket on a rampage!” The news announcer chirped on a broadcast announcing the news.Then, in 2010, Felix Baumgartner became the first human projectile to break the sound barrier when he successfully completed a Red Bull sponsored free fall from the edge of the atmosphere down to the New Mexican desert. In short, humans like speed. We like extremes. We like telling Mother Nature that, with labs, we can supersede her.

47. Much of the life in the oceans, as on land, is invisible to the naked eye. For instance, if you’ve ever swallowed a milliliter of ocean water, know that you also gulped 1 million bacteria and 10 million viruses give or take a few. No need to worry though, swimmers around the world swallow some ocean water during their ventures into the water, without ill effects.

44. About 70 percent of the planet is ocean, with an average depth of more than 12,400 feet. Given that photons (light) can’t penetrate more than 330 feet below the water’s surface, most of our planet is in a perpetual state of darkness.

43. For starters, did you know that 94 percent of life on Earth is aquatic? That makes us land-dwellers a very small minority.
