The Bloodhound SSC steering wheel features an aircraft stick style shape, with buttons designed to be accessed by thumb movements only. This ensures the driver maintains a firm grip on the wheel while operating controls. The multi-purpose display can show speed, thrust, and g force levels among other options. Separate buttons deploy or retract air brakes, with an emergency button activating both air brake and main chute deployment for added safety. The steering wheel has four spokes for durability and features vertical grips. Button functions include red for air brake deployment, dark blue for main chute release, green for full throttle, light blue for reserve chute activation, yellow for engine on, white for engine off, grey for combined air brake and main chute deployment, and orange for air brake retraction. Other steering wheel designs include two-spoke and spokeless versions for the Bloodhound SSC challenge.
