The SABRE air-breathing rocket engine can propel an aircraft from zero to five times the speed of
sound in the atmosphere. (Reaction Engines)
drag requires power and this results in
greater fuel consumption.
AHEAD involves a totally new engine
design - a hybrid engine using two different combustion systems. The first
combustor burns either cryogenic hydrogen or liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and
the second combustor burns either
kerosene or biofuel. By using two different combustor and fuel systems, the
engine's total efficiency increases and
emissions are reduced. With the BWB, a
larger amount of space is available within
the aircraft, thus making it possible to
carry cylindrical fuel tanks to store the
cryogenic fuel.
A feature of the engine is the use of a
counter-rotating fan. The large fan that
produces most of the engine thrust is
made up of two rows of blades that rotate
in opposite directions. The advantage of
this design is to improve engine efficiency even further.
AHEAD is designed to carry about 300
passengers. The shorter and wider body of
the aircraft makes it aerodynamically more
efficient than a conventional cylindrical
body aircraft. Combined with the advanced hybrid engine, the multi-fuel BWB
is able to reduce CO2 emission by around
65% compared to a conventional Boeing
777-200ER aircraft. The timeframe for
introduction of the aircraft is 2050.

London to Australia:
A Day Trip?
The UK Space Agency thinks it is possible. The government agency has been
teaming up with private companies to
explore new territory in hypersonic travel. One of those partner companies, Reaction Engines, is developing an engine
that the UK Space Agency thinks might
make a day trip to London from Australia
a reality.
Founded by three propulsion engineers from Rolls-Royce, the company is
working on a Synergetic Air Breathing
Rocket Engine (SABRE) propulsion system that can propel an aircraft from
zero to five times the speed of sound in
the atmosphere. Reaction Engines believes it has the potential to redefine
both air and space travel.
SABRE features a precooler - the
part of the engine that rapidly cools the
incoming air (1,000 °C to ambient), enabling the engine to operate at higher
speeds than existing engines. The precooler has been validated for speeds of
up to Mach 5 in the Earth's atmosphere.
SABRE's heat exchanger and hydrogen
preburner subsystems supply heat energy
and air to the core of the engine.
SABRE subsystems are undergoing
testing and validation in ground-based
demonstrations.
