ESA spaceplane project revives bankrupt firm’s hypersonic engine
A bankrupt company’s propulsion system for hypersonic planes is being revived by Invictus, a new European Space Agency (ESA)-backed project aiming to build and fly a hydrogen-powered spaceplane by 2031.
The proposed engine for the plane is based on so-called pre-cooler technology, developed over decades by UK aerospace firm Reaction Engines, which went bust in November.
Many of Reaction Engines’ top engineers found a new home at British aerospace and defence company Frazer-Nash Consultancy, which is now leading the Invictus consortium. Other members of the group include US aircraft maker Spirit AeroSystems and Britain’s Cranfield University.
Invictus aims to develop a reusable hypersonic vehicle capable of flying at Mach 5 (6174 km/h) — five times the speed of sound. Unlike most rockets, this spaceplane would take off horizontally from a runway.The plane would skim the edge of space,...
