caption_attribution_description: North American Eagle land speed record car.
context_page_description: The North American Eagle Project was a jet-powered automobile that was intended to challenge the 763 mph land speed record set by the ThrustSSC in 1997. The venture was a collaboration between Canadian and US engineers, pilots, and mechanics. In 2013, they had hoped to reach 800 mph, or Mach 1.058.
  In a land speed record attempt on 27 August 2019, the North American Eagle crashed killing driver Jessi Combs. The future of the project is unclear.
