The revolutionary SABRE rocket engine, has the potential to transform access to Space. This lecture explores its unique characteristics.
Dr Robert Bond, Corporate Programmes Director of Reaction Engines, Imperial Alumnus
The revolutionary SABRE air-breathing rocket engine, has the potential to transform access to Space. This lecture will explore the unique characteristics of the SABRE engine and the prospects it offers for a single-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle with aircraft-like operation.
SABRE is at heart a rocket engine designed to power aircraft directly into space (single-stage to orbit) to allow reliable, responsive and cost effective space access, and in a different configuration to allow aircraft to cruise at high speeds (five times the speed of sound) within the atmosphere.
