Online Lecture: Unlocking the Future of Space Access and Hypersonic Flight by Robin Davies of Reaction Engines Limited
What if you could climb into a winged aircraft, take off horizontally and fly into space. Science fiction? No, today Reaction Engines Ltd are building the first prototype of a revolutionary air breathing rocket engine that will allow just that.
A single stage to orbit in a fully reusable spaceplane. The hypersonic SABRE engine is also applicable to high speed transport, cutting the time to travel between London and Australia to around four hours and providing low cost access to space for small satellites.
This talk will look at the engineering behind the project and show where we are going to make this engine a reality.
This Online event is free to attend and open to all.
