British Interplanetary, that's quite intriguing. I lived in Scotland for four years, and all that time I though I lived on THIS planet !! Maybe there's something to the Scottish independence referendum after all.

Title: Successful test of Sabre engine pre-cooler
Post by Eric Johnston on Nov 28^th, 2012 at 7:12pm

A prototype of the pre-cooler of the revolutionary air-breathing Sabre engine has been tested successfully by Alan Bond and his small team of inventive engineers.

I have put the video here: https://www.satsig.net/skylon/sabre-engine.htm

The Sabre engine is planned to be used for the single-stage-to-orbit, re-useable, Skylon spaceplane / satellite launch vehicle.

Best regards, Eric.
