Intersections from Speed TV shows how the human factor of speed machines can be the deciding factor between perfect performance and catastrophic failure. Through a combination of interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, 3D graphics, and super-slow-motion photography Intersections gives a unique perspective into the science of speed. Each episode compares two machines and reveals the hidden similarities. The technology and mechanics are broken down piece-by-piece. The driving forces of unique fuel combinations and aerodynamics are also discussed. But once the engineering and hardware are stripped away, only one thing remains - the human factor. The intersection of man and machine is what truly defines the series. Meet Tony Schumacher, a seven-time NHRA Top Fuel champion that drives a U.S. Army-sponsored 8,000 horsepower hot rod. Next meet Lt. Aaron Ochalek who flies a U.S. Navy F/A-18 fighter jet. These are two very different men with two very different machines. Are they really so different though?MORE
