    What can the SABRE engine be used for?

    Reaction Engines and AFRL are currently collaborating on vehicle concepts that can use the SABRE engine. These not only include space launch vehicles, but also hypersonic aircraft and military applications of the Reaction Engines heat exchanger technologies.

    What can I do with the SABRE platform?

    Connect to the Sabre Platform with Travel Solutions APIs to create B2C or B2B travel applications. From a corporate travel portal to a web-based booking engine, cruise booking engine, or rental car reservation system, easily integrate content and services with high adaptability and reduced time-to-market.

    How to connect Sabre GDS with Airline Solutions APIs?

    Connect to the Sabre GDS with Airline Solutions APIs to create a B2C travel portal or web-based flight booking engine. With Airline Solutions APIs, airline carriers can create a customized retail experience, managing all of your customers and reservations in one centralized location from shop to check-in.

    How is the SABRE engine used in Skylon?

    The SABRE engine is designed to meet the requirements of the Skylon system which in theory can increase or decrease in size.

    How is the SABRE engine going to work?

    REL is developing what it calls the Sabre engine. This power plant is designed to push a vehicle from a standing start all the way to orbit in a single step. It would work like a conventional jet engine up to about Mach 5.5 (5.5 times the speed of sound) before then transitioning to a rocket mode for the rest of the ascent.

    What kind of engine is a SABRE rocket?

    SABRE – Synergetic Air Breathing Rocket Engine – is a new class of engine for propelling both high speed aircraft and spacecraft. SABRE is unique in delivering the fuel efficiency of a jet engine with the power and high speed ability of a rocket. The engine that changes everything.

    What kind of engine is a Napier Sabre?

    It is a 24-cylinder piston engine with sleeved valves. Actually it is better described as two 12-cylinder horizontally opposed engines*, fused together in an ‘H’ cross section, as opposed to its famous ‘competitor’ the V-shaped 12-cylinder Rolls Royce Merlin.

    Where was the SABRE engine heat exchanger tested?

    In particular, it needs a high-performance heat exchanger that can cool incoming air at a temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius in a twentieth of a second. The SABRE engine heat exchanger has been successfully tested in a wind tunnel located in Colorado. The device designed by Reaction Engine Limited has safely beared a hot air flow to Mach 5.
