    A20 from Arthur C.Clarke short story "Inheritance"

    Reaction Engines SABRE engine (Skylon Spaceplane)

    I've seen the Reaction Engines Ltd Skylon spaceplane mentioned a few times already but I think it deserves it's own thread. It looks cool and will only cost £10 billion(ish) to develop, so if it wasn't designed in Great Britain 'the land of lost opportunties' it would probably get built ;) It...
