  • The SKYLON Spaceplane
    The SKYLON Spaceplane Borg K.⇤ and Matula E.⇤ University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, 80309, USA This report outlines the major technical aspects of the SKYLON spaceplane as a final project for the ASEN 5053 class. The SKYLON spaceplane is designed as a single stage to orbit vehicle capable of lifting 15 mT to LEO from a 5.5 km runway and returning to land at the same location. It is powered by a unique engine design that combines an air- breathing and rocket mode into a single engine. This is achieved through the use of a novel lightweight heat exchanger that has been demonstrated on a reduced scale. The program has received funding from the UK government and ESA to build a full scale prototype of the engine as it’s next step. The project is technically feasible but will need to overcome some manufacturing issues and high start-up costs. This report is not intended for publication or commercial use.

The virtual celebration, held 23-28 November, saw leaders in aviation, aerospace and space recognised for their significant contributions from space innovation to supporting humanitarian aid and addressing social barriers through flight. Several representatives of the space industry received awards, with Dr Alice Bunn and Dr Ashitey Trebi-Ollennu receiving Silver Award Medals for their major contributions. Dr Bunn for her role in developing and implementing UK Space Policy and Dr Trebi-Ollennu for his contribution to the successful development and delivery of the Instrument Deployment System on the InSight Mars Mission. It enabled the first robotic deployment by NASA of a seismometer on another planet. Harbour Air Group founder, Greg McDougall received a Bronze award for establishing North America’s first carbon-neutral airline in 2007, which also facilitated the world’s first commercial electric flight in 2019. The Sir Ralph Robins Medal for mid-career engineers demonstrating outstanding engineering leadership, was won by Dr Helen Webber, for her achievements in delivering a major engineering project, leadership of a significant team, delivering a major new project and creating commercial success. Dr Webber was responsible for delivering the High Temperature Heat Exchanger (HTX) design, build and test programme conditions.

  • Turbojet Runs Precursor to Hypersonic Engine Heat Exchanger Tests
    Turbojet Runs Precursor to Hypersonic Engine Heat Exchanger Tests Aviation Week & Space Technology Guy Norris Tue, 2018-05-15 04:00 Advanced propulsion developer Reaction Engines is nearing its first step toward validating its novel air-breathing hybrid rocket design at hypersonic conditions by firing up a vintage General Electric J79 turbojet to act as a heat source for testing, expected later this month. The ex-military engine, formerly used in a McDonnell Douglas F-4, is a central element of Reaction’s specially developed high-temperature airflow test site, which will soon be commissioned at Front Range Airport, near Watkins, Colorado. The J79 will provide heated gas flow in excess of 1,000C (1,800F) which, together with conditioned ambient air, will be mixed to replicate inlet conditions representative of flight speeds up to and including Mach 5. The flow will verify the operability and performance of the pre-cooler heat exchanger (HTX), which is at the core of Reaction’s Sabre (synergistic air-breathing rocket engine). It is also key to extracting oxygen from the atmosphere to enable acceleration to hypersonic speed from a standing start. The HTX will chill airflow to minus 150C in less than 1/20th of a second, and pass it through a turbo- compressor and into the rocket combustion chamber where it will be burned with sub-cooled liquid hydrogen (LH) fuel. Beyond Mach 5, and at an altitude approaching 100,000 ft. the inlet will be closed and the engine will continue to operate as a closed-cycle rocket engine fueled by onboard liquid oxygen and LH.
