SABRE is the ultimate design of Alan Bond's series of LACE and LACE-like designs that started in the early/mid-1980s for the HOTOL project.

The precooler-based LACE idea was originally explored by Marquardt and General Dynamics in the 1960s as part of the US Air Force's aerospaceplane efforts. This work eventually culminated in medium-thrust engines that ran for several minutes at a time. Although the program was generally successful, changing priorities and USAF funding led to the idea being abandoned.


 

Rocket engine: A rocket engine or simply "rocket" is a jet engine that uses only propellant mass for forming its high speed propulsive jet. Rocket engines are reaction engines and obtain thrust in accordance with Newton's third law. Since they need no external material to form their jet, rocket engines can be used...

Jet engine: A jet engine is any engine that accelerates and discharges a fast moving jet of fluid to generate thrust in accordance with Newton's . This broad definition of jet engines includes turbojets, turbofans, turboprops, rockets and ramjets, but in common usage, the term generally refers to a gas turbine ...
