Wow, this is such a change in todays climate, with a negative Government making cuts all round the country etc. I have been following this project for a while now, and it would be a revolution for the whole world if this project took off, but a few words of advice, don’t give away any info to the US, they will just steal the idea, make it bigger and change the name of the sabre engine and say they invented it, remember all the projects we had in the 60s with the jet planes, TSR2 to name but a few, all cancelled because the of a UK Government with no backbone, also the US stopped giving the UK loans to build these amazing jets because they had enough info from us and Europe to build their own planes, F1-11 for example, which turned out to be a waste of time anyway as we didn’t even buy any, but thats another story.
But I wish Reaction Engines all the best with the Skylon project and hopefully, this can make Britain great once again.

Actually makes me proud to be British… for once! I love this concept; it’s a pity our laclustre split personality government hasnt the vision to back it properly… But hey, who needs governments when you want to do something exciting and exerimental,in engineering! Especially space and aerospace engineering,(you listening US congress?…)
