Innovations & technologies
British aerospace industry giant BAE Systems is investing in Reaction Engines Limited to develop a new type of hybrid jet/rocket engine that could potentially lead to the development of new hypersonic aircraft or a space vehicles. While the British development is aimed at civilian applications, the technology has immense military value. A hypersonic missile or aircraft would be able hit targets at speeds and ranges that are unheard of today. Moreover, defending against such an attack would be extremely difficult.
