Army officers lead the way on the future of engineering

Engineers in the British Army have been demonstrating the importance of engineering through the Bloodhound supersonic car (SSC) project.

Earlier this month, Major Oli Morgan and Major Pip Lines were awarded for their work skills on the high-tech SSC project.

The Bloodhound project aims to inspire young people into careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) by building a car capable of 1,000 miles per hour.

Major Morgan from Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) leads a team of six REME engineers who are involved in building the car. And it’s this commitment to the future of engineering that has led Major Morgan to be named as the 2014 Modern Day Visionary by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

Since 2012, Major Morgan has been responsible for overseeing a small team of REME engineers who undertake six-month placements on the Bloodhound project.
