Seems to me that we're nearing the gray areas of the term "land" speed record. what percentage of the time do the wheels actually contact the "land" in a jet powered vehicle at 700+ MPH? My definition of land speed record vehicle is that it be propelled by the rotation of the wheels…… but that's just me.

Land or flying very low. 1000 miles per hour is incredible.
