Welcome to the home of the University of Southampton's
Human Powered Vehicle Project!


The HPV project group are proud to announce a
new collaboration with Smiths Aerospace to develop the next generation
design. This joint venture will aim to produce a world record competing
design using the expertise and manufacturing excellence of Smiths Aerospace.

Project Abstract
The HPV programme is run by a group of fourth year
engineers as a final year project, and is now in its
fourth year.
The overall aim is to design a vehicle capable of
challenging for the HPV World Speed Record.
The University possesses a state of the art wind tunnel, Computational Flow
Dynamics, Finite Element Analysis software, and
composites manufacturing facilities. Each year a new group of students bring
enthusiasm and fresh thinking to the project.
