This is the world’s fastest boat. It could go 317 mph or 511 km/h! This kind of boat is called a jet hydroplane. Here’s how it works…
These boats are wild… and also dangerous. That’s why nobody has broken the world record set back in 1978. But it’s our obsession with speed that pushes us to build faster cars, planes, and boats. And I’m fascinated by the engineering behind that – so I’m actually working on a longer episode all about how the world’s fastest boats go so fast.

Not quite! Take a look at “PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie.” Skip to the cryclsal part and Zuma can go 325+ mph!
You are confusing different boats. Spirit of Australia going 317 miles/hr is a jet boat there is no propeller.
I b back later 🎉I am mixing poison with no protection on me skin 😂
I can get that fuel🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It has 6000 hp equavalent and not 3000 hp. Its a jet engine you donkey, it creates thrust and not hp. So you messed up both in the unit and number
The spirit of australia does not have a propeller. 🤡
Kan vi bygga denhär
Check out the Caspian sea monster
317mph with only 1 3k helicopter engine is CRAZY. We have a boat where I live called the "My Way" that has TWO 3k helicopter engines and it has hit at top speed of just 224mph. How the HELL did "The Spirit" go 50% faster on half the H.P 🤔
This is actually boeings design
Imagine tubing on one of these
People think F1 is the faster vehicle ever. Firstly, its a vehicle not a car. Secondly, its not made for top speed, use something like the bugatti chiron because thats a better comparison. The fastest boat vs a vehicle designed to take corners fast?? Makes no sense
By the way guys the model she was using to show how the hydro plane worked it was a boeing u787 yes boeing made it with a different company but it has some boeing in it
F1 cars use wings, which provide Downforce at high speeds, but at high speeds, the air molecules the crash into the wing creates Drag, which slows the car down. You just need to go 180 MPH (290 KM/H), to stick to the roof of a tunnel. Like if this surprised you. The purpose of the wing is to allow faster cornering, scince the Porsche 911 and an F1 car are RWD (Rear wheel drive), is the transmission delivers torque from the engine to the rear wheels. But RWD is for top speed, but it has the worst grip, causing oversteering. You can actually take corners at high speeds without a wing, by using AWD (All wheel drive) which the transmission sends torque to all 4 wheels, which means better traction.
If you were wondering the top speed of an F1 car, It's around 225 MPH (360 KM/H). F1 cars use a Powerful, Gasoline Internal Combutsion 4 Stroke 6 Cylinder V6 Engine, that produces 1000 HP, if you don't know how much 1000 HP is, a Daily Driver, Normal Car Produces 80 – 120 HP.
Thank you for your videos. Bless you❤
I’ve driven a hydroplane before!!!!
Wait
You didn't say it was an Australian world record
“ to much air means it could… aaaah”

I love how you cover all these different subjects with such intellect and detail! 🫶🏼
I had no clue we could achieve that speed on the water. Wouldn’t it be crazy if we could go that fast—and faster—under the surface? Like all the reports of USO’s claim?
F1 drivers are way cooler tho
Daaaaaaammmmmnnnn
I know the guy that broke it
0:21.25
i have a new idea:formula 2 water racing
Why didn’t outer banks have that
'Too much air means it could ahhhh' got me rolling on the carpet 😂😂😂
@cleo Abram A formula one car can reach 397km/hr baby
Nah my Car can go faster
Average trailmakers experience.
The last dude who got close to beating it actually flipped over and died so it probably won’t be beat
Saying this is dangerous is an understatement, for anyone unfamiliar, btw. Seriously an understatement.
Love the way you explained it😊
Next: make one faster than the land speed record of the thrust ssc
Are you coming to Seafair? Seattle. Boeing engineers+water=this right here. You can take a boat and watch this while Dominoes pizza delivers on jet skis.
