Elite Consulting Sponsors Quicksilver World Water Speed Record BidElite Consulting Ltd has joined the Quicksilver World Water Speed Record Challenge as a Technical Associate. Elite Consulting will be the Official Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Specialist and Structural Consultant to the Quicksilver team. Quicksilver will be powered by a single Rolls-Royce Spey 101 turbofan engine and the structure will be an ingenious marriage of high-tensile steel tubing and honeycomb sandwich panels. Elite will undertake research to verify the strength and stiffness of the craft's structure, to ensure that it can perform its demanding role. The work will be conducted by its specialists, using an advanced computer-based technique known as Finite Element Analysis (FEA), employing Pro/MECHANICA® software by Parametric Technology Corporation, a Technical Partner of the Quicksilver team. Signatories to the three-year agreement were Quicksilver driver/Managing Director Nigel Macknight and Ray Ellender, Elite Consulting’s Managing Director. Speaking of his company's new association, Ray Ellender said, " I am delighted to be supporting a British World Record attempt. After the success on land by Richard Noble's Thrust SSC team in 1997, it is time for the World Water Speed Record to return to its rightful home."
