DESCRIPTION:Against a background of today’s low risk culture\, Richard s
 pecialises in developing high risk ventures. Obviously not all of them can
  be successful\, but the Thrust2 programme which brought the World Land Sp
 eed Record back to Britain in 1983 and the ThrustSSC first ever supersonic
  land speed record programme are the best known.\n\nRichard Noble's other 
 projects include the ARV Super2 light aircraft\, the Atlantic Sprinter Blu
 e Riband contender\, Programme Funding\, an original television funding co
 mpany\,  Farnborough Aircraft\, the first distributed travel air taxi airc
 raft and currently the Mach 1.4 Bloodhound SSC project the latest in the l
 ong line of Land Speed Record cars now being run through 3600UK schools . 
 These projects all started very small and being original in concept attrac
 t only very limited resource. So they have to obey the rules of small comp
 any survival:\n\n1.	Keep it very simple \n2.	Build a highly-motivated\, sm
 all team \n3.	Move decisively and quickly \n4.	Make up for the financial d
 eficiencies with a very high level of team motivation and productivity \n
